Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Familial testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) and bilateral TGCTs comprise 1-2% and 5% of all TGCTs, respectively, but their genetic basis remains largely unknown. AIM: To investigate the contribution of known testicular cancer risk variants in familial and bilateral TGCTs. METHODS AND RESULTS: The study genotyped 106 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in four regions (BAK1, DMRT1, KITLG,...
