The human genome project and the discovery of genetic determinants of cancer susceptibility.

Abstract excerpt

The Human Genome Project has recently provided a great deal of information on the sequence that comprises the human genome. We are now in the process of structuring and deciphering the 3 x 10(9) base sequence in order to gain insights into its functional role. Several efforts are focusing on the search for DNA sequence variations underlying common/complex diseases that constitute a real burden in terms of public...
