    • Detectable clonal mosaicism from birth to old age and its relationship to cancer. 

      Wei, Qingyi; Laurie, Cathy C; Laurie, Cecelia A; Rice, Kenneth; Doheny, Kimberly F; Zelnick, Leila R; McHugh, Caitlin P; ... (73 authors) (Nature genetics, 2012-05-06)
      We detected clonal mosaicism for large chromosomal anomalies (duplications, deletions and uniparental disomy) using SNP microarray data from over 50,000 subjects recruited for genome-wide association studies. This detection ...

    • Genome-wide association study identifies a new melanoma susceptibility locus at 1q21.3. 

      Wei, Qingyi; Macgregor, Stuart; Montgomery, Grant W; Liu, Jimmy Z; Zhao, Zhen Zhen; Henders, Anjali K; Stark, Mitchell; ... (52 authors) (Nature genetics, 2011-10-09)
      We performed a genome-wide association study of melanoma in a discovery cohort of 2,168 Australian individuals with melanoma and 4,387 control individuals. In this discovery phase, we confirm several previously characterized ...

    • Genome-wide association study identifies three new melanoma susceptibility loci. 

      Wei, Qingyi; Barrett, Jennifer H; Iles, Mark M; Harland, Mark; Taylor, John C; Aitken, Joanne F; Andresen, Per Arne; ... (75 authors) (Nature genetics, 2011-10-09)
      We report a genome-wide association study for melanoma that was conducted by the GenoMEL Consortium. Our discovery phase included 2,981 individuals with melanoma and 1,982 study-specific control individuals of European ancestry, ...

    • Novel genetic variants in the P38MAPK pathway gene ZAK and susceptibility to lung cancer. 

      Owzar, Kouros; Liu, Zhensheng; Xie, Jichun; Wei, Qingyi; Feng, Yun; Wang, Yanru; Liu, Hongliang; ... (25 authors) (Molecular carcinogenesis, 2018-02)
      The P38MAPK pathway participates in regulating cell cycle, inflammation, development, cell death, cell differentiation, and tumorigenesis. Genetic variants of some genes in the P38MAPK pathway are reportedly associated with ...

    • On the interplay of telomeres, nevi and the risk of melanoma. 

      Wei, Qingyi; Bodelon, Clara; Pfeiffer, Ruth M; Bollati, Valentina; Debbache, Julien; Calista, Donato; Ghiorzo, Paola; ... (22 authors) (PloS one, 2012-01)
      The relationship between telomeres, nevi and melanoma is complex. Shorter telomeres have been found to be associated with many cancers and with number of nevi, a known risk factor for melanoma. However, shorter telomeres ...
