Genetic predisposition, environment and cancer incidence: a nationwide twin study in Finland, 1976-1995.

International journal of cancer - 10 Dec 1999

Verkasalo P K, Kaprio J, Koskenvuo M, Pukkala E

Abstract excerpt

Twin studies integrate genetic and environmental (including physical environment and life-style) information by comparing monozygotic and dizygotic twins for the occurrence of disease. Our objectives were to compare cancer incidence in twins with national rates and to estimate both the probability that co-twins of affected twins may develop cancer and the importance of genetic predisposition and environment in...
