    Notes: [Auszug] After the recent discovery that common genetic variation in 8q24 influences inherited risk of prostate cancer, we genotyped 2,973 SNPs in up to 7,518 men with and without prostate cancer from five populations. We identified seven risk variants, five of them previously undescribed, spanning 430 kb ...

    Notes: [Auszug] A general question for linkage disequilibrium–based association studies is how power to detect an association is compromised when tag SNPs are chosen from data in one population sample and then deployed in another sample. Specifically, it is important to know how well tags picked from the ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Variants on chromosome 8q24 contribute risk for prostate cancer; here, we tested whether they also modulate risk for colorectal cancer. We studied 1,807 affected individuals and 5,511 controls and found that one variant, rs6983267, is also significantly associated with colorectal cancer (odds ratio ...

    Notes: Abstract Background: The survival in neuroblastoma is influenced by patient age, disease stage, tumor site, and several biologic factors. This study was undertaken to determine if primary pelvic lesions are associated with an unusually favorable outcome. Methods: Nine hundred eighty-six patients registered on Children's Cancer Group studies from 1980 to 1993 were reviewed, and 41 (4.3%) were found to have pelvic tumors. Survival was analyzed, and correlations among age, stage of disease, surgical resectability, histopathology, serum ferritin, and N-myc oncogene amplification were evaluated. Results: Age at diagnosis was comparable between patients with pelvic and nonpelvic tumors. Disease distribution was similar, with stages III and IV comprising 78% (32 of 41) of pelvic lesions compared with 73% (692 of 945) for nonpelvic tumors. There was no outcome difference in favorable stages (I, II, and IV-S), with 3-year progression-free survival rates of 88% and 82% for pelvic and nonpelvic sites, respectively. However, in stages III and IV, the 3-year progression-free survival was 70% for pelvic lesions compared with 47% for nonpelvic tumors (p=0.04). Some favorable biologic factors were more common in children with pelvic lesions. Conclusions: The pelvis is an unusual primary site for neuroblastoma but represents a more favorable prognostic subgroup, which is most evident in advanced-stage disease.

    Notes: Abstract Many time series variables such as rainfall, industrial production, and sales exist only in some aggregated forms. To see the implication of time series aggregation it is important to know the limiting behavior of the time series aggregates. From the relationship of autocovariances between the underlying time series variable and its aggregates, we show that the limiting behavior of time series aggregates is closely related to the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of the aggregation operator. Specifically, the vector of admissible autocorrelations of the limiting model for the time series aggregates is the eigenvector associated with the largest eigenvalue of the aggregation transformation. This provides an interesting and simple method for deriving the limiting model for time series aggregates. Systematic sampling of time series can be treated similarly. The method is illustrated with an empirical example.

    Notes: Abstract Objectives: We evaluated parental occupation and the risk of neuroblastoma using data from a large case–control study conducted by the Children's Cancer Group and the Pediatric Oncology Group. Methods: We compared the distribution of 73 paternal and 57 maternal occupational groups among 504 newly diagnosed cases of neuroblastoma and individually matched controls obtained by telephone random digit dialing in the United States and Canada. Results: An increased risk of neuroblastoma was found for fathers employed as broadcast, telephone and dispatch operators (odds ratio [OR] = 6.1; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.7–50.9), electrical power installers and power plant operators (OR = 2.7; CI = 0.9–8.1), landscapers and groundskeepers (OR = 2.3; CI = 1.0–5.2), and painters (OR=2.1; CI = 0.9–4.8). Elevated odds ratios were found for mothers employed as farmers and farm workers (OR = 2.2; CI = 0.6–8.8), florists and garden store workers (OR = 2.4; CI = 0.6–9.9), hairdressers and barbers (OR = 2.8; CI = 1.2–6.3), electric power installers and power plant operators, and sailors, fishers, and railroad workers. No increase in risk was found for other paternal occupations previously associated, including electricians, electrical equipment assemblers and repairers (OR = 1.1; CI = 0.6–2.0), or welders (OR = 0.5; CI = 0.1–1.6). Conclusion: The study reinforced some prior evidence of increased risks in electrical, farming and gardening, and painting occupations, but failed to confirm other previously reported associations. Further analyses of exposure to electromagnetic fields, metals, solvents, and pesticides are currently under way.
