Genome-Wide analysis of the role of copy-number variation in pancreatic cancer risk

Genome-Wide analysis of the role of copy-number variation in pancreatic cancer risk

Although family history is a risk factor for pancreatic adenocarcinoma, much of the genetic etiology of this disease remains unknown. While genome-wide association studies have identified some common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with pancreatic cancer risk, these SNPs do not exp...
