Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies have successfully identified a subset of common variants associated with lung cancer risk. However, these variants explain only a fraction of lung cancer heritability. It has been proposed that low-frequency or rare variants might have strong effects and contribute to the missing heritability. To assess the role of low-frequency or rare variants in lung cancer development, we...
