Induced genome instability as a potential screening test for cancer susceptibility?
Medical hypotheses - 1 Jul 2000

Abstract excerpt
The variety of mutations associated with carcinogenesis, along with variations in penetrance and environmental factors, complicate the genetic screening for cancer predisposition. It is proposed here that the detection of inherent genome instability as determined by increased mutagen susceptibility may enhance the identification of populations at risk for cancer. In support for this hypothesis, our analysis...
