    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 counseling for familial lung cancer risk assessment Moderate

    Variant indicates familial squamous cell lung carcinoma predisposition; genetic counselor can assess screening protocols

Lifestyle

  • Cigarette smoking High

    Smoking compounds genetic predisposition to squamous cell lung carcinoma; variant carriers face substantially elevated risk

    Total avoidance; if current smoker, enroll in evidence-based cessation program immediately

  • Occupational and environmental carcinogen exposures Moderate

    Squamous cell lung cancer has occupational risk factors; genetic predisposition amplifies exposure risk from carcinogens

    Identify workplace exposures; use respiratory protection; consider occupational health assessment

Screening

  • Lung cancer screening (squamous cell focus) Moderate

    Variant associated with 5.6-fold increased risk of familial squamous cell lung carcinoma in large GWAS cohort

    Discuss with pulmonologist; consider low-dose CT screening starting age 40-45 or earlier if strong family history
