Genetic predisposition to lung adenocarcinoma among never-smoking Chinese with different epidermal growth factor receptor mutation status.

Objectives: The inconsistent findings from genetic association studies may be related to the heterogeneity in different molecular subtypes of lung cancer. This study evaluated the predisposing single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant and EGFR wild-type lung adenocarcinoma separately among never-smokers.

Materials And Methods: This was a two-stage case-control study.
