Does the immune system protect against cancer? Today our study on HLA immunogenetics and lung cancer risk has been published in @ScienceMagazine led by @chirag_msk @AnniinaTervi @MiriamSaffern @EricWil39327976 @HannaMOllila @diegochowell science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

An immunogenetic basis for lung cancer risk

Genomic and epidemiological analyses reveal that HLA class II heterozygosity is associated with a reduced risk of lung cancer in smokers.
