Evidence for age-specific genetic relative risks in lung cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies of familial aggregation suggest that family history of lung cancer among first-degree relatives is associated with increased risk for early-onset, but not late-onset, lung cancer. To assess whether this could be explained by variability in genetic relative risk across age, segregation analysis was performed on the Louisiana Lung Cancer Dataset. This data set consisted of 337 probands who died of...
