Striking disparities in lung cancer exist, with Black/African American individuals disproportionately affected by lung cancer, yet the genetic architecture in African ancestry individuals is poorly understood. We aimed to address this by performing a comprehensive genetic association study of lung cancer, incorporating local ancestry, across 6,490 African ancestry individuals (2,390 individuals with lung cancer...
