Background Lung cancer in individuals who have never smoked tobacco products is an
increasing medical and public-health issue. We aimed to unravel the genetic basis of lung …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of lung cancer in Asian never-smoking women
have previously identified six susceptibility loci associated with lung cancer risk. To further …

Background Genetic variation increases the risk of lung cancer, but the extent to which
smoking amplifies this effect remains unknown. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the risk of …

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 cancer is a major cause of cancer-related mortality in the USA, and tobacco smoke is
the major risk factor for this disease. However, many patients with lung cancer have never …

To explore the impact of common variation on the risk of developing lung cancer, we
conducted a two-phase genome-wide association (GWA) study. In phase 1, we compared …

To find additional susceptibility loci for lung cancer, we tested promising associations from
our previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) of lung cancer in the Chinese …

A growing number of studies investigating the association between Single Nucleotide
Polymorphisms (SNPs) and lung cancer risk have been published since over a decade ago …

BACKGROUND AND METHODS: Familial aggregation of lung cancer exists after
accounting for cigarette smoking. However, the extent to which family history affects risk by …

More than 1000 candidate-gene association studies on genetic susceptibility to lung cancer
have been published over the last two decades but with few consensuses for the likely …
