Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association analysis identifies new lung cancer susceptibility loci in never-smoking women in Asia.

Qing Lan, +133 more
- 01 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: It is observed that there is no evidence of association for lung cancer at 15q25 in never-smoking women in Asia, providing strong evidence that this locus is not associated with lung cancer independent of smoking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of heritability and shared heritability based on genome-wide association studies for thirteen cancer types

Joshua N. Sampson, +448 more
- 12 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: Correlation analysis indicates that the genetic architecture of lung cancer differs between a smoking population of European ancestry and a nonsmoking Asian population, allowing for the possibility that the Genetic etiology for the same disease can vary by population and environmental exposures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating interleukin-6 level is a prognostic marker for survival in advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer patients treated with chemotherapy.

Chin-Hao Chang, +15 more
- 01 May 2013 - 
TL;DR: A high level of circulating IL‐6 was associated with an inferior response and survival outcome in NSCLC patients treated with chemotherapy, and results after adjusting for age, sex, smoking history, histologic type and stage of lung cancer revealed a significant relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants associated with longer telomere length are associated with increased lung cancer risk among never‐smoking women in Asia: a report from the female lung cancer consortium in Asia

Mitchell J. Machiela, +133 more
- 15 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: The results indicate that a genetic background that favors longer telomere length may increase lung cancer risk, which is consistent with earlier prospective studies relating longer telomerre length with increased lung cancerrisk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between GWAS-identified lung adenocarcinoma susceptibility loci and EGFR mutations in never-smoking Asian women, and comparison with findings from Western populations.

Wei Jie Seow, +196 more
- 26 Dec 2016 - 
TL;DR: The results extend the catalogue of regions associated with lung adenocarcinoma in non-smoking Asian women and highlight the importance of how the germline could inform risk for specific tumour mutation patterns, which could have important translational implications.
