Polygenes, risk prediction, and targeted prevention of breast cancer.

The New England journal of medicine - 26 Jun 2008

Pharoah Paul D P, Antoniou Antonis C, Easton Douglas F, Ponder Bruce A J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: New developments in the search for susceptibility alleles in complex disorders provide support for the possibility of a polygenic approach to the prevention and treatment of common diseases. METHODS: We examined the implications, both for individualized disease prevention and for public health policy, of findings concerning the risk of breast cancer that are based on common genetic variation. RESULTS:...
