The contribution of coding variants to the heritability of multiple cancer types using UK Biobank whole-exome sequencing data
We developed a method to estimate the contribution of rare coding variants to cancer
heritability and applied it to 11 cancers in the UK Biobank. Our results provide insights
into the contribution of ...

A huge thank you to our funders for making this possible! It’s been truly inspiring to work alongside an extraordinary community of co-investigators & patient and public partners, in developing the proposals. Deeply grateful for the constant support from the central CRUK team throughout the process.
