Lung cancer is a major cause of death in the United States and other countries. The risk of
lung cancer is greatly increased by cigarette smoking and by certain occupational …

Background Genome-wide association studies have identified three chromosomal regions
at 15q25, 5p15, and 6p21 as being associated with the risk of lung cancer. To confirm these …

Three genetic loci for lung cancer risk have been identified by genome-wide association
studies (GWAS), but inherited susceptibility to specific histologic types of lung cancer is not …

Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer death, and although most lung
cancer is attributable to cigarette smoking, underlying genetic susceptibility is suggested by …

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. To identify genetic
factors that modify the risk of lung cancer in individuals of Chinese ancestry, we performed a …

To identify common genetic variants that contribute to lung cancer susceptibility, we
conducted a multistage genome-wide association study of lung cancer in Asian women who …

Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common histological type of lung cancer, and its
incidence is increasing worldwide. To identify genetic factors influencing risk of lung …

Purpose: We have previously mapped a major susceptibility locus influencing familial lung
cancer risk to chromosome 6q23-25. However, the causal gene at this locus remains …

To identify genetic variation associated with lung cancer risk, we performed a genome-wide
association analysis of 685 lung cancer cases that had a family history of two or more first or …

Although several lung cancer susceptibility loci have been identified, much of the heritability
for lung cancer remains unexplained. Here 14,803 cases and 12,262 controls of European …
