mean geographic distance between parent and offspring malaria infections for the base model was 0.5 km (95% CI 0.3-1.5), for a distribution with 68% of distances shorter than the mean. Very short mean distances

medulloblastoma risk with OR in the same direction as in the discovery cohort (ORT = 1.59, pvalidation = 0.02). We also selected seven medulloblastoma predisposition genes for investigation using a candidate [...] association was found for rs201458864 (PALB2, ORT = 3.76, p = 3.2 x 10(-4)) and rs79036813 (PTCH1, ORA = 0.42, p = 2.6 x 10(-3)). CONCLUSION: The results of this study, including a novel potential medulloblastoma
