Joint analysis of three genome-wide association studies of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Chinese populations

Dongxin Lin, Philip Taylor, Li-Dong Wang and colleagues have now pooled three genome-wide association analyses of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, finding two new risk loci at genome-wide significance and an HLA class II locus of significance in high-risk populations. They reanalyze the strength of evidence for previously published risk loci. We conducted a joint (pooled) analysis of three genome-wide association studies (GWAS)1,2,3 of...
