Deciphering the Impact of Common Genetic Variation on Lung Cancer Risk: A Genome-Wide Association Study  

Jump to full article: Cancer Research, 2009-08-15

Intro:

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

These data indicate few common variants account for 1% of the excess familial risk underscoring the necessity of having additional large sample series for gene discovery.
