Germline genomic patterns are associated with cancer risk, oncogenic pathways and clinical outcomes
2019-04-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Germline genetic polymorphism is prevalent and inheritable. So far mutations of a handful of genes have been associated with cancer risks. For example, women who harbor BRCA1/2 germline mutations have a 70% of cumulative breast cancer risk; individuals with congenital germline APC mutations have nearly 100% of cumulative colon cancer by the age of fifty. At present, gene-centered cancer predisp...
