Primary Outcomes

Description: A GWAS reported a novel association between the TP63 locus and risk of lung adenocarcinoma; however, this association did not achieve genome-wide significance among never-smoking males or females. We genotyped the TP63 SNPs reported by the previous GWAS (rs10937405 and rs4488809) in 500 never-smoking female lung cancer cases and 500 never-smoking female controls from China. Genetic variation in rs10937405 was associated with lung adenocarcinoma. Our findings provide strong evidence that genetic variation in TP63 is associated with risk of lung adenocarcinoma among non-smoking females.
