  • Development and evaluation of a polygenic risk score for lung cancer in never-smoking women: A large-scale prospective Chinese cohort study. - International journal of cancer (2024) · Wei X, Sun D, Gao J, Zhang J, Zhu M, Yu C, Ma Z, Fu Y, Ji C, Pei P, Yang L, Millwood IY, Walters RG, Chen Y, Du H, Jin G, Chen Z, Hu Z, Li L, Shen H, Lv J, Ma H · PubMed 37846649

    The proportion of lung cancer in never smokers is rising, especially among Asian women, but there is no effective early detection tool. Here, we developed a polygenic risk score (PRS), which may help to identify the population with higher risk of lung cancer in never-smoking women. We first performed a large GWAS meta-analysis (8595 cases and 8275 controls) to systematically identify the susceptibility loci for lung cancer in never-smoking Asian women and then generated a PRS using GWAS datasets. Furthermore, we evaluated the utility and effectiveness of PRS in an independent Chinese prospective cohort comprising 55 266 individuals. The GWAS meta-analysis identified eight known loci and a novel locus (5q11.2) at the genome-wide statistical significance level of P < 5 × 10 . Base
