Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Contribution of dominance effects to cancer heritability is unknown. We leveraged existing genome-wide association data for seven cancers to estimate the contribution of dominance effects to the heritability of individual cancer types. METHODS: We estimated the proportion of phenotypic variation caused by dominance genetic effects using genome-wide association data for seven cancers (breast,...
