Association between cancer risk and HLA genotype can be explained by anti-tumor immunity
2021-03-10
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Over recent decades, efforts to explain the heritability of developing cancer have focused on identifying high-risk genes and common genetic variants. However, no studies considered genetic factors regulating tumor-specific immune responses. By developing a novel human leukocyte antigen (HLA) score, determined by autologous HLA allele-binding epitopes of tumor-specific antigens, we show...
