Genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies novel <i>GP2</i> gene risk variants for pancreatic cancer in the Japanese population
2018-12-19
Abstract excerpt
The etiology of pancreatic cancer remains largely unknown. Here, we report the results of a meta-analysis of three genome-wide association studies (GWASs) comprising 2,039 pancreatic cancer cases and 32,592 controls, the largest sample size in the Japanese population. We identified 3 (13q12.2, 13q22.1, and 16p12.3) genome-wide significant loci ( P <5.0×10 -8 ) and 4 suggestive loci ( P <1.0×10 -6 ) for pancrea...
