摘要
In this issue of Cancer Cell, Wang et al. use whole-genome sequencing of lung cancer cases and controls with East Asian ancestry to comprehensively characterize both common and rare variants that predispose to lung cancer. Their findings suggest that rare promoter variants in BRCA2 are associated with increased lung can-cer risk.
