An inherited genetic mutation may increase lung cancer risk among people who have never smoked, according to a new Science study. Learn more in this week’s issue: scim.ag/3Td6qQV
An inherited mutation in the EGFR gene (EGFR T790M) increases lung cancer risk. In this illustration, lungs merge with a map of the United States, reflecting the geographic enrichment of the EGFR T790M mutation. By tracing the ancestry of people carrying this mutation, researchers uncovered a shared genetic legacy extending back hundreds of years and concentrated in the southeastern United States.
