Abstract excerpt
Although dozens of susceptibility loci have been identified for lung cancer in genome-wide association studies (GWASs), the susceptibility genes and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we conducted a cross-tissue transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) with UTMOST based on summary statistics from 13 327 lung cancer cases and 13 328 controls and the genetic-expression matrix over 44 human...
