DNA data helped researchers identify an inherited mutation that may increase #lungcancer risk by >25x and by 60x in nonsmokers. The mutation occurs in #EGFR, a gene already linked to lung cancers, says Dr. Sarah Goldberg @YaleThoracic. “What makes this version unusual is that it’s inherited, or ‘germline,’ meaning it’s present in every cell in a person’s body from birth and can be passed down through a family." everydayhealth.com/cancer/ra… @YaleCancer
