Using germ-line genetic variation to investigate and treat cancer.

Abstract excerpt

For many years, there has been spirited debate as to the relative importance of environmental and genetic factors in the pathogenesis of cancer. Current efforts to annotate the human genome for germ-line genetic variants should establish the foundation for dissecting the contribution of genetics to the risk for cancer susceptibility. Population-based studies should be conducted to determine the influence of...
