Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genetic architecture of lung cancer (LC) varies substantially across populations. However, the limited ancestral diversity of existing discovery cohorts hampers comprehensive characterization of ancestry-specific risk mechanisms and limits the transferability of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) across populations. In addition, the interplay between germline variants and somatic mutations in LC remains...
