Abstract

Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified six risk loci for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We conducted a meta-analysis of two new scans of 5,198 cases and 7,331 controls together with four existing scans, totalling 10,784 cases and 20,406 controls of European ancestry. Twenty-four loci were tested in an additional 3,182 cases and 6,301 controls. We confirm the six known RCC risk loci and identify seven new loci at 1p32.3 (rs4381241, P=3.1 × 10(-10)), 3p22.1 (rs67311347, P=2.5 × 10(-8)), 3q26.2 (rs10936602, P=8.8 × 10(-9)), 8p21.3 (rs2241261, P=5.8 × 10(-9)), 10q24.33-q25.1 (rs11813268, P=3.9 × 10(-8)), 11q22.3 (rs74911261, P=2.1 × 10(-10)) and 14q24.2 (rs4903064, P=2.2 × 10(-24)). Expression quantitative trait analyses suggest plausible candidate genes at these regions that may contribute to RCC susceptibility.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 28. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 December 2017.
All research outputs
#1,211,442
of 23,177,498 outputs
Outputs from Nature Communications
#17,969
of 47,850 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#26,283
of 317,491 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Communications
#488
of 1,106 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,177,498 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 47,850 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 56.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 317,491 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,106 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its contemporaries.
