Author Information
Richard Somerset Houlston is a distinguished researcher affiliated with the Division of Genetics and Epidemiology at The Institute of Cancer Research in London, UK. His work primarily revolves around genetics and cancer epidemiology, focusing on understanding the genetic predispositions and risk factors associated with various cancers.Research Contributions
Richard Houlston has made significant contributions to the field of cancer genetics. His recent work includes studies on germline MBD4 deficiency and its connection to a multi-tumor predisposition syndrome, exploring the relationship between alcohol consumption, DNA methylation, and colorectal cancer risk, and examining the frequency of pathogenic germline variants in renal cell carcinoma cases. He has also contributed to the understanding of non-coding variation influencing multiple myeloma risk, and has worked on integrating genome-wide polygenic risk scores to predict colorectal cancer diagnosis. His research often employs innovative approaches, such as Mendelian randomization analysis, to uncover insights into genetic and non-genetic risk factors of cancer.Aliases
