Pancreatic cancer: Pancreatic cancer risk alleles identified in Chinese populations.

摘要

No effective markers are available for screening for pancreatic cancer risk. In this genome-wide association study, Wu et al. report five new susceptibility loci-on chromsomes 21q21.3, 5pl3.1, 22ql3.32 and 10q26.11-for pancreatic cancer in Chinese individuals (981 patients initially, with replication of the findings in a further 2,603 patients from hospitals across China).
