Abstract excerpt
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) is highly polymorphic, driving antigen presentation, complement cascade and leukocyte maturation against cancer cells. Therefore, we extracted genotyping data in the HLA region from an ongoing Chinese genome-wide association study of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Using deep sequencing data of 10 689 healthy Han Chinese, we imputed for untyped genetic variants in the HLA region,...
