Quantitative assessment of common genetic variants on chromosome 5p15 and lung cancer risk.

Abstract excerpt

Several genome-wide association studies on lung cancer (LC) have reported similar findings of a new susceptibility locus, 5p15. After that, a number of studies reported that the rs2736100, rs401681, rs402710, and rs31489 polymorphisms at chromosome 5p15 have been implicated in LC risk. However, the studies have yielded contradictory results. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, we performed...
