Lung cancer susceptibility locus at 5p15.33

Paul Brennan and colleagues report a genome-wide association study for lung cancer susceptibility. In addition to a previously reported variant at 15q25, they detect and replicate a new association at 5p15.33. We carried out a genome-wide association study of lung cancer (3,259 cases and 4,159 controls), followed by replication in 2,899 cases and 5,573 controls. Two uncorrelated disease markers at 5p15.33, rs402710 and rs2736100 were detected by...
