Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant syndrome of familial malignancies resulting from germ line mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Our goal was to take a pathway-based approach to investigate the influence of polymorphisms in cell cycle-related genes on age of onset for Lynch syndrome using a tree model. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We evaluated polymorphisms in a panel of cell cycle-related genes...
