Lung cancer genetics: a family affair?
نویسنده
چکیده
Lung cancer risk has a genetic component. This study reports the discovery of a gene variant that is overexpressed in patients who have the familial, but not sporadic, type of lung cancer. This report provides new insights into a mechanism that will help to guide preventive interventions in the future.
