Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were successful to identify genetic factors
robustly associated with lung cancer. This review aims to synthesize the literature in this field …

Lung cancer continues to be one of the most common causes of cancer death despite
understanding the major cause of the disease: cigarette smoking. Smoking increases lung …

Although lung cancer risk among smokers is dependent on smoking dose, it remains
unknown if this increased risk reflects an increased rate of somatic mutation accumulation in …

We conducted imputation to the 1000 Genomes Project of four genome-wide association
studies of lung cancer in populations of European ancestry (11,348 cases and 15,861 …

In 2008, lung cancer replaced liver cancer as the number one cause of death among people
with malignant tumors in China. The registered lung cancer mortality rate increased by …

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 …

Pulmonary function measures reflect respiratory health and are used in the diagnosis of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We tested genome-wide association with forced …

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 …

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in men and women in the United
