The genetic variant rs401681C/T is associated with the risk of non-small cell lung cancer in a Chinese mainland population

, Although lung cancer (LC) is a highly environmentally associated disease, genetic factors are also thought to play a role in this disease. In recent years, genome-wide association studies have identified various susceptible genetic regions for LC. Herein, we used high-resolution melting analysis to genotype 2 significant single nucleotide polymorphisms previously reported in Caucasians, that is, rs401681 at 5p15.33 and rs8034191 at 15q25, in a case-control study with 492 LC cases and 486 cancer-free controls in a Chinese population.
