Abstract excerpt
Ovarian cancer is a complex polygenic disease in which genetic factors play a significant role in disease etiology. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified a novel variant on chromosome 9q22.33 as a susceptibility locus for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in the Han Chinese population. However, the underlying mechanism of this genomic region remained unknown. In this study, we conducted a fine-mapping...
