Close family members of those with lung cancer have around twice the risk of developing lung cancer as an average person, even after controlling for occupational exposure and smoking habits. [78] Genome-wide association studies have identified many gene variants associated with lung cancer risk, each of which contributes a small risk increase. [79]
