Estimating Kinship in Admixed Populations
Timothy A. Thornton,Hua Tang,Thomas J. Hoffmann,Heather M. Ochs-Balcom,Bette J. Caan,Neil Risch,Neil Risch +6 more
TL;DR: A method is proposed, REAP (relatedness estimation in admixed populations), for robust estimation of identity by descent (IBD)-sharing probabilities and kinship coefficients in adm mixed populations, which appropriately accounts for population structure and ancestry-related assortative mating.

Alcohol Consumption and Breast Cancer Recurrence and Survival Among Women With Early-Stage Breast Cancer: The Life After Cancer Epidemiology Study
Marilyn L. Kwan,Lawrence H. Kushi,Erin Weltzien,Emily K. Tam,Adrienne Castillo,Carol Sweeney,Bette J. Caan +6 more
TL;DR: Consuming three to four alcoholic drinks or more per week after a breast cancer diagnosis may increase risk of breast cancer recurrence, particularly among postmenopausal and overweight/obese women, yet the cardioprotective effects of alcohol on non-breast cancer death were suggested.
Physical Activity and Risk of Recurrence and Mortality in Breast Cancer Survivors: Findings from the LACE Study
Barbara Sternfeld,Erin Weltzien,Charles P. Quesenberry,Adrienne Castillo,Marilyn L. Kwan,Martha L. Slattery,Bette J. Caan +6 more
TL;DR: Findings do not support a protective effect of physical activity on breast cancer recurrence or mortality but do suggest that regular physical activity is beneficial for breast cancer survivors in terms of total mortality.
