Estimation of heritability for nine common cancers using data from genome‐wide association studies in Chinese population

The familial aggregation indicated the inheritance of cancer risk. Recent genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) have identified a number of common single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Following heritability analyses have shown that SNPs could explain a moderate amount of variance for different cancer phenotypes among Caucasians. However, little information was available in Chinese population. We performed a genome‐wide complex trait...
