Here, the authors examine women with cancer and cancer-free controls and show that X chromosome mosaicism occurs more frequently than on autosomes, especially on the inactive X chromosome, but is not linked to non-haematologic cancer risk

  • Keri Monda, Kari North, Christopher Haiman and colleagues report a meta-analysis of GWAS for body mass index that is composed of 39,144 individuals of African ancestry, followed by further genotyping in 32,268 individuals of African ancestry. The study also includes analysis of publicly available data from the GIANT consortium of ~124,000 individuals of European ancestry. The paper reports evidence for two new loci near GALNT10 and MIR148A.
