Pancreatic Neoplasms study with SNP Genotypes (Array) data on dbGaP (8,021 participants)

phs000648 — Pancreatic Cancer Case Control Association Study

<p>Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States. This is in large part due to the rapidly fatal course of this disease, as the vast majority of patients die within months of diagnosis and the five-year survival rate is less than 5. We have brought together over 8000 participants from 9 studies of pancreatic cancer, to conduct a GWAS of pancreatic cancer. The studies were drawn from the Pancreatic Cancer Case-Control consortium and include case-control studies from the United States, Europe and Australia.
