Large-scale cross-cancer fine-mapping of the 5p15.33 region reveals multiple independent signals

Large-scale cross-cancer fine-mapping of the 5p15.33 region reveals multiple independent signals

Summary: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified thousands of cancer risk loci revealing many risk regions shared across multiple cancers. Characterizing the cross-cancer shared genetic basis can increase our understanding of global mechanisms of cancer development. In this study, we...
