Author Information
Richard S. Houlston is a distinguished researcher affiliated with the Division of Genetics and Epidemiology at The Institute of Cancer Research, located at 15 Cotswold Road, Sutton, Surrey, SM2 5NG, UK. His extensive research primarily focuses on the genetic underpinnings of cancer, contributing significantly to our understanding of cancer susceptibility and risk factors through genetic epidemiology studies.Research Contributions
Richard S. Houlston's research contributions are profound and influential in the field of cancer genetics. His recent work in 2022 includes studies on germline MBD4 deficiency and its role in multi-tumor predisposition syndromes, the impact of alcohol consumption and DNA methylation on colorectal cancer risk, and the frequency of pathogenic germline variants in renal cell carcinoma. His research extends to polygenic risk scores, non-genetic risk factors, and the metabolic consequences of higher adiposity. Additionally, he has explored risk loci in monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and susceptibility loci for acute myeloid leukemia. His work is characterized by a combination of genome-wide association studies, meta-analyses, and functional dissection of inherited non-coding variation influencing cancer risk.Aliases
Richard S. Houlston is also known by various aliases, including Richard Houlston, Richards. Houlston, R.s. Houlston, R S Houlston, R. Houlston, R Houlston, Richard S Houlston, Richard Somerset Houlston, and R. S. Houlston.Publication and Citation Metrics
