Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Deficiency in DNA-damage repair (DDR) genes, often due to disruptive coding variants, is linked to higher cancer risk. Our previous study has revealed the association between rare loss-of-function variants in DDR genes and the risk of lung cancer. However, it is still challenging to study the predisposing role of rare regulatory variants of these genes. METHODS: Based on whole-genome sequencing data...
