Potential Susceptibility Loci Identified for Renal Cell Carcinoma by Targeting Obesity-Related Genes

Conclusions: Taken together, we found that genetic variation of obesity-related genes could influence RCC susceptibility. Impact: The five identified loci may provide new insights into disease etiology that reveal importance of obesity-related genes in RCC development.
