Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in North America. In addition to tobacco smoking, inherited genetic factors can also influence the development of lung cancer. These genetic factors may lead to biologically distinct subsets of cancers that have different outcomes. We evaluated whether genetic sequence variants (GSVs) associated with lung cancer risk are associated with...
