Family-based exome sequencing combined with linkage analyses identifies rare susceptibility variants of MUC4 for gastric cancer

Genome-wide association studies of gastric cancer (GC) cases have revealed common gastric cancer susceptibility loci with low effect size. We investigated rare variants with high effect size via whole-exome sequencing (WES) of subjects with familial clustering of gastric cancer. WES of DNAs from the...
