  • Thorunn Rafnar and colleagues identify a variant on 4p16.3 near FGFR3 associated with increased risk of urinary bladder cancer. They find that the risk allele is more frequent among individuals with tumors that carry an activating somatic mutation in FGFR3, suggesting a link between germline variation, somatic mutation status and cancer risk.
