Disclosed is a method for determining a susceptibility to lung cancer in a human individual, comprising determining the presence or absence of at least one allele of at least one polymorphic marker in a nucleic acid sample obtained from the individual, wherein the at least one polymorphic marker is selected from the group consisting of rs1051730, and markers within SEQ ID NO:1 in linkage disequilibrium therewith, wherein linkage disequilibrium is characterized by values of r2 of at least 0.2, and wherein determination of the presence of the at least one allele is indicative of a susceptibility to lung cancer. |
