Xinhua News Agency, London, November 2 The researchers announced in the British journal Nature Genetics published on the 2nd that they found that two genetic variants may increase the risk of lung cancer by 60%.
According to Reuters, scientists from 18 countries participated in the study.
The study included 6,000 lung cancer patients and 9,000 non-lung cancer patients.
After comparing the genes of the subjects, the scientists found that mutations in two genes, TERT and CRR9, located in a certain region of the fifth chromosome may increase the risk of lung cancer by up to 60%.
According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer is the leading cause of death among male cancer patients worldwide, and the second leading cause of death among female cancer patients. Smoking has always been considered to be the main cause of lung cancer, but some people who have long-term smoking have never had lung cancer, and some people who do not smoke have lung cancer instead, which has prompted researchers to look more for the cause of lung cancer from a genetic perspective.
