Abstract
Three studies identify an association between genetic variation at a location on chromosome 15 and risk of lung cancer. But they disagree on whether the link is direct or mediated through nicotine dependence.
The characterization of variation in the human genome has begun to pay dividends. These are mainly being delivered through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), provided that they are sufficiently large and are followed by replication of the notable findings.
