Lung cancer genetics: a family affair?

Clinical cancer research : an official journal of the American Association for Cancer Research - 15 Apr 2009

Christiani David C

Abstract excerpt

Lung cancer risk has a genetic component. This study reports the discovery of a gene variant that is overexpressed in patients who have the familial, but not sporadic, type of lung cancer. This report provides new insights into a mechanism that will help to guide preventive interventions in the future.
