Distinct SNP combinations confer susceptibility to urinary bladder cancer in smokers and non-smokers.

Recently, genome-wide association studies have identified and validated genetic variations associated with urinary bladder cancer (UBC). However, it is still unknown whether the high-risk alleles of several SNPs interact with one another, leading to an even higher disease risk. Additionally, there i...
