Ethnic background and genetic variation in the evaluation of cancer risk: a systematic review.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Jing Lijun, Su Li, Ring Brian Z

Abstract excerpt

The clinical use of genetic variation in the evaluation of cancer risk is expanding, and thus understanding how determinants of cancer susceptibility identified in one population can be applied to another is of growing importance. However there is considerable debate on the relevance of ethnic background in clinical genetics, reflecting both the significance and complexity of genetic heritage. We address this via...
