abstract = {Despite lung cancer affecting all races and ethnicities,
disparities are observed in incidence and mortality rates
among different ethnic groups in the United States.
Non-Hispanic African Americans had a high incidence rate of
lung cancer at 55.8 per 100 000 people, as well as the
highest death rate at 37.2 per 100 000 people from 2016 to
2020. While previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS)
have identified over 45 susceptibility risk loci that
influence lung cancer development, few GWAS have
investigated the etiology of lung cancer in African
Americans. To address this gap in knowledge, we conducted
GWAS of lung cancer focused on studying African Americans,
comprising 2267 lung cancer cases and 4264 controls. We
identified three loci associated with lung cancer, one with
lung adenocarcinoma, and four with lung squamous cell
carcinoma in this population at the genomic-wide
significance level. Among them, three novel loci were
identified near VWF at 12p13.31 for overall lung cancer and
GACAT3 at 2p24.3 and LMAN1L at 15q24.1 for lung squamous
cell carcinoma. In addition, we confirmed previously
reported risk loci with known or new lead variants near
CHRNA5 at 15q25.1 and CYP2A6 at 19q13.2 associated with lung
cancer and TRIP13 at 5p15.33 and ERC1 at 12p13.33 associated
with lung squamous cell carcinoma. Further multi-step
functional analyses shed light on biological mechanisms
underlying these associations of lung cancer in this
population. Our study highlights the importance of
ancestry-specific studies for the potential alleviation of
lung cancer burden in African Americans.},
