Fine mapping of MHC region in lung cancer highlights independent susceptibility loci by ethnicity

Abstract Lung cancer has several genetic associations identified within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC); although the basis for these associations remains elusive. Here, we analyze MHC genetic variation among 26,044 lung cancer patients and 20,836 controls densely genotyped across the MHC...
