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 ...

Great to see our study looking at the contributions of different data types to short-term risk prediction for colorectal cancer diagnosis published bmjoncology.bmj.com/content/4/1/...

Key finding: primary care records (especially common blood tests) and genetics make a substantial contribution.
