A susceptibility locus for lung cancer maps to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit genes on 15q25

Rayjean J. Hung, +64 more
- 03 Apr 2008 - 
TL;DR: The results provide compelling evidence of a locus at 15q25 predisposing to lung cancer, and reinforce interest in nicotinic acetylcholine receptors as potential disease candidates and chemopreventative targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lung cancer susceptibility locus at 5p15.33

TL;DR: The susceptibility region contains two genes, TERT and CLPTM1L, suggesting that one or both may have a role in lung cancer etiology, and two uncorrelated disease markers at 5p15.33 are detected.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cigarette smoking and lung cancer – relative risk estimates for the major histological types from a pooled analysis of case-control studies

TL;DR: The major result that smoking exerted a steeper risk gradient on SqCC and SCLC than on AdCa is in line with previous population data and biological understanding of lung cancer development.
Journal ArticleDOI

The LLP risk model: an individual risk prediction model for lung cancer.

TL;DR: If independent validation studies confirm these results, the LLP risk models’ application as the first stage in an early detection strategy is a logical evolution in patient care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypomethylation of retrotransposable elements correlates with genomic instability in non-small cell lung cancer.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates the strong link between hypomethylation of transposable elements with genomic instability in non‐small cell lung cancer and provides early evidence for a potential active role of these elements in lung neoplasia.
