Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have implicated thousands of germline genetic variants in modulating individuals' risk to various diseases, including cancer. At least 25 risk loci have been identified for low-grade gliomas (LGGs), but their molecular functions remain largely unknown. METHODS: We hypothesized that GWAS loci contain causal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that...
