Chromosomal scale length variation of germline DNA can predict individual cancer risk

2018-04-17

Abstract excerpt

Inherited factors are thought to be responsible for a substantial fraction of many different forms of cancer. However, individual cancer risk cannot currently be well quantified by analyzing germ line DNA. Most analyses of germline DNA focus on the additive effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found. Here we show that chromosomal-scale length variation of germline DNA can be used to predict whether a...
