In addition to replicating the majority of the GWAS loci reported in European populations, we also identified robust, relatively large effect-size associations (odds ratio=1.46, a larger effect size than other variants reported in previous pancreatic cancer GWASs) of a coding missense variant (rs78193826: C>T; p.V432M) in the GP2 gene with pancreatic cancer [4]. Here, GP2 is linked to pancreatic neoplasm.
