Genetic epidemiology of childhood brain tumors

1 Jan 1991

Abstract excerpt

The study goal was to determine the genetic (heritable) contribution to childhood brain tumors (CBT) which cause nearly one quarter of all childhood cancer deaths. Their etiology remains unknown, but previous studies have suggested a proportion of CBT may be heritable. In this study we collected family histories of 243 confirmed CBT patients referred to The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center between...
