1. Occupational asbestos exposure is associated with lung adenocarcinoma in humans (OR 4.901, 95% CI 1.150–20.881; P=0.03).

   “Mendelian randomization analysis identified a suggestive causal relationship between asbestos exposure and lung adenocarcinoma [odds ratio (OR) =4.901, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.150-20.881, P=0.03]”
