Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies identified genetic susceptibility variants mostly lie outside of protein-coding regions. It suggested variants located at transcriptional regulatory region should play an important role in cancer carcinogenesis including lung cancer. In the present study, we systematically investigated the associations between the variants in the binding sites of an extensive transcription factor...
