Genetic susceptibility to prostate, breast, and colorectal cancer among Nordic twins.

Biometrics - 1 Mar 2005

Baker Stuart G, Lichtenstein Paul, Kaprio Jaakko, Holm Niels

Abstract excerpt

To investigate the role of genetics in the development of cancer, we developed a new approach to analyze data on prostate, breast, and colorectal cancer from the Swedish, Danish, and Finnish twin registries on monozygotic (MZ) and same-sex dizygotic (DZ) twins. In the spirit of a sensitivity analysis, we modeled genetic inheritance as either an autosomal recessive or dominant cancer susceptibility (CS) genotype...
