New lung cancer susceptibility locus identified: significance and implications for other genome-wide association studies

Cancer Discovery
Thomas A Sellers, Y Ann Chen

Abstract

Genome-wide association studies have identified more than 150 loci that influence the risk of cancer. In this issue of Cancer Discovery, Shi and colleagues report that a variant in RAD52 is a risk factor for squamous cell lung carcinoma. This work is important not only for its potential implications on control of this dreaded malignancy but also for its methodologic contributions that can advance the field of molecular-genetic epidemiology.
