Pan-cancer study detects genetic risk variants and shared genetic basis in two large cohorts

Pleiotropic loci and genome-wide genetic correlations have identified shared heritability across some types of cancers. Here, the authors perform genome-wide association studies and characterize pan-cancer heritability and pleiotropy in individuals of European ancestry across 18 cancer types from tw...
