While lung cancer is caused by both genetic and environmental factors, tobacco smoking is the most well-known and common risk factor associated with lung cancer. New study led by Yafang Li, PhD from Dartmouth reports gene-smoking interactions play an important role in the etiology of lung cancer.
In their study, three novel SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms), or variations in our DNA that underlie our susceptibility to developing disease, were identified in the interaction analysis, including ...
