The project studies genetic factors that may increase lung cancer risk in families. It will recruit familial cases, evaluate candidate variants using sequencing data, and test their effects in lung and cancer cells.
Description
NIH-funded project to identify rare, high-risk genetic variants associated with familial lung cancer and characterize their functional impacts, using family-based recruitment, genomic sequencing, and functional studies.
