Do discordant cancers share familial susceptibility?

European journal of cancer (Oxford, England : 1990) - 1 May 2012

Hemminki Kari, Sundquist Jan, Brandt Andreas

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Cancer syndromes manifest at many sites albeit with variable penetrance. Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified susceptibility loci shared by many types of cancer. Yet, a population level search for shared susceptibility between discordant cancers has been hampered because of lacking population sizes. METHODS: Over 1.1million patients in the nation-wide Swedish Family-Cancer Database were...
