Stephen Chanock and colleagues identify three new susceptibility loci for pancreatic cancer on chromosomes 13q22.1, 1q32.1 and 5p15.33. The association signal at 13q22.1 maps to a large nongenic region, whereas the signals at 1q32.1 and 5p15.33 map near the NR5A2 gene and CPTM1L-TERT region, respectively.
