Abstract excerpt
Genetic factors play significant roles in the tumorigenicity of lung cancer; however, there is lack of systematic and large-scale characterization of pathogenic germline variants for lung cancer. In this study, germline variants in 146 preselected cancer-susceptibility genes were detected in 17 904 Chinese lung cancer patients by clinical next-generation sequencing. Among 17 904 patients, 1738 patients (9.7%)...
