Scientists have identified a rare inherited genetic variant that may help explain why some people who have never smoked develop lung cancer. The New York Post reported that the trait could increase lung cancer risk by as much as 62 times, while Yahoo described the mutation as dramatically raising risk among never-smokers.
The finding could provide a genetic explanation for some lung cancer cases unrelated to smoking.
