Familial risk for lung cancer by histology and age of onset: evidence for recessive inheritance.

Abstract excerpt

The authors used the Swedish Family-Cancer Database to search for evidence for a genetic predisposition in lung cancer. Familial risks in offspring were increased for all lung cancer to 1.77 when a parent was affected with any lung cancers; the comparable risk among siblings was 2.15.
