Associations between family history of cancer and genes coding for metabolizing enzymes (United States).

Cancer causes & control : CCC - 1 Oct 2000

Slattery M L, Edwards S L, Samowitz W, Potter J

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Family history of cancer has been a useful tool to identify highly penetrant genes. However, the association between family history and low-penetrance genes that are prevalent in the population, is less well understood. While epidemiologists have studied low-penetrance genes in association studies at the population level, geneticists have often favored family studies to identify low-penetrance genes in...
