Abstract excerpt

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) occurs with high frequency in Southeast Asian populations. The high prevalence and familial clustering of NPC in these populations suggest that genetic factors may contribute to the increased cancer risk by affecting susceptibility. The aim of the present study was to map chromosomal loci linked to susceptibility genes predisposing for NPC. We carried out a genome-wide scan by...
