Genetic variants associated with increased risk of malignant pleural mesothelioma: a genome-wide association study.

Genetic variants associated with increased risk of malignant pleural mesothelioma: a genome-wide association study.

Asbestos exposure is the main risk factor for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), a rare aggressive tumor. Nevertheless, only 5-17% of those exposed to asbestos develop MPM, suggesting the involvement of other environmental and genetic risk factors. To identify the genetic risk factors that may co...
