Heritable genetic variants in key cancer genes link cancer risk with anthropometric traits

2019-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Inherited genetic variants in tumour suppressors and oncogenes can increase the cancer risk, but little is known about their influence on anthropometric traits. Through the integration of inherited and somatic cancer genetic data, we define functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with cancer risk and explore potential pleiotropic associations with anthropometic traits in a cohort of 500,000 in...
