A comprehensive survey of cancer risks in extended families.

Genetics in medicine : official journal of the American College of Medical Genetics - 1 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Cancer is familial; yet known cancer predisposition genes, as well as recognized environmental factors, explain only a small percentage of familial cancer clusters. This population-based description of cancer clustering describes patterns of cancer coaggregation suggestive of a genetic predisposition. METHODS: Using a computerized genealogy of Utah families linked to a statewide cancer registry, we...
