Molecular genetic diagnosis of familial tumors.

Abstract excerpt

Recent advances in molecular biology have identified the responsible genes for many hereditary cancer syndromes (familial tumors). Therefore, now, the final diagnosis of familial tumors can be done by molecular methods to detect the genetic alteration in the disease-causing responsible gene(s) in the patient. So-called "genetic testing" is now available, not only as the diagnosis in the proband but also as the...
