Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this study was to identify novel genes that predispose people in the Japanese population to FPC. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Familial history of pancreatic cancer is an important risk factor but, to date, few genes predisposing individuals to increased risk of developing FPC have been identified. METHODS: We performed whole-exome sequencing of germline DNA from 81 Japanese FPC...
