Genetic Ancestry Contributes to Somatic Mutations in Lung Cancers From Admixed Latin American Populations

Last Updated: Wednesday, January 27, 2021

A research brief by Carrot-Zhang et al investigating inherited lung cancer risk—especially in nonsmokers—in Latin America has found that independent of smoking status, variation in EGFR and KRAS mutation frequency in Latin American patients with lung cancer was associated with Native American ancestry.
