Abstract
Genetic susceptibility factors play a role in determining individual risk of developing lung cancer. Gene variants that might affect susceptibility to cancer fall into three categories: rare-risk, moderate-risk, and common low-risk variants. Although family linkage studies have been able to identify the low-frequency highly penetrant susceptibility genes for lung cancer, most of the genetic risk is likely to involve several genes of the last two categories, i.e., moderate and low risk. Such risk variants have been tested on a candidate gene basis. Recently, the genome-wide association (GWA) studies have offered an alternative research method. This chapter will introduce these two different approaches and their most promising outcomes.
