MSH5 had previously been reported as a plausiblecandidate gene for the lung cancer-risk locus at Chr6p21.33, for which the moststrongly associated variant rs3117582 is intronic in BAT3; however, ishighly correlated to rs3131379 in intron 10 of MSH5 (Wang et al, 2008; Kazmaet al, 2012). The gene discussed is BAG6; the disease is lung cancer.
