    • DNA methylation and associated gene expression in blood prior to lung cancer diagnosis in the Norwegian Women and Cancer cohort 

      Sandanger, Torkjel M; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Guida, Florence; Rylander, Charlotta; Campanella, Gianluca; Muller, David C; Van Dongen, Jenny; Boomsma, Dorret I; Johansson, Mattias; Vineis, Paolo; Vermeulen, Roel; Lund, Eiliv; Chadeau-Hyam, Marc (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-13)
      The majority of lung cancer is caused by tobacco smoking, and lung cancer-relevant epigenetic markers have been identified in relation to smoking exposure. Still, smoking-related markers appear to mediate little of the effect of smoking on lung cancer. Thus in order to identify disease-relevant markers and enhance our understanding of pathways, a wide search is warranted. Through an epigenome-wide ...
