Shared heritability and functional enrichment across six solid cancers

2018-10-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Quantifying the genetic correlation between cancers can provide important insights into the mechanisms driving cancer etiology. Using genome-wide association study summary statistics across six cancer types based on a total of 296,215 cases and 301,319 controls of European ancestry, we estimate the pair-wise genetic correlations between breast, colorectal, head/neck, lung, ovary and prostate can...
