A polygenic model of inherited predisposition to cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Polygenic inheritance of predisposition to cancer is demonstrated in experimental animals for different tumor types. Genetic susceptibility to hepatocarcinogenesis, lung tumorigenesis, skin and intestine carcinogenesis, and plasmacytomagenesis is determined by inheritance of multiple cancer predisposition and resistance alleles, whose chromosomal locations have been found by genetic linkage analysis. In some of...
