To identify genetic variation associated with lung cancer risk, we performed a genome-wide association analysis of 685 lung cancer cases that had a family history of two or more first or second degree relatives compared with 744 controls without lung cancer that were genotyped on an Illumina Human OmniExpressExome-8v1 array. To ensure robust results, we further evaluated these findings using data from six additional studies that were assembled through the Transdisciplinary Research on Cancer of the Lung Consortium comprising 1993 familial cases and 33 690 controls. We performed a meta-analysis after imputation of all variants using the 1000 Genomes Project Phase 1 (version 3 release date September 2013). Analyses were conducted for 9 327 222 SNPs integrating data from the two sources. A no

Lifestyle context
Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.
Discuss with your doctor
-
Genetic risk and family history of lung cancer Moderate
WWOX variant shows strong familial association with squamous cell carcinoma; family history shapes screening urgency and strategy
Discuss with physician or genetic counselor for personalized risk assessment
Lifestyle
-
Tobacco smoke exposure Moderate
Squamous cell lung carcinoma risk is strongly amplified by smoking; genetic predisposition compounds this risk substantially
Complete smoking cessation; minimize secondhand smoke and radon exposure
Screening
-
Enhanced lung cancer screening protocol Moderate
WWOX rs112697296 T allele associated with 3.15-fold increased odds of familial squamous cell lung carcinoma in GWAS of 31,930 individuals
Discuss baseline lung imaging and age-appropriate screening intervals with pulmonologist
