Abstract excerpt
Individual susceptibility to cancer in humans is determined by complex interactions between germline genetic variation and levels of exposure to environmental carcinogens or tumour promoters. Only a small fraction of cancer susceptibility is inherited in a Mendelian manner (high-penetrance familial cancer), and most tumours result from the combined effects of many gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. The...
