Measures of genotype versus gene products: promise and pitfalls in cancer prevention.

Abstract excerpt

We present a critical assessment of the promise and pitfalls of genotype versus gene function measures in cancer epidemiology studies. While both measures have pros and cons and are complementary, in terms of potential for contributing knowledge that directly leads to prevention, we argue that attention should be given to research relating functional parameters (single protein expression, functional or phenotypic...
