Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Germ cell tumors are heterogeneous neoplasms arising from primordial germ cells. Although genome-wide association studies have identified numerous susceptibility loci for adult testicular germ cell tumors, the heritable basis of pediatric testicular germ cell tumors and germ cell tumors that arise outside the testes remain poorly understood. METHODS: We conducted a multi-ancestry genome-wide...
