Population-wide Screening for Germline Variants of Hereditary Cancer Genes in 12K Unselected Japanese Colorectal Cancers and 27K Controls
2020-03-17
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background & Aims</h4> Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in Western countries and Japan. Currently, a few % of CRCs can be attributed to recognizable hereditary germline variants of known CRC susceptibility genes, predominantly the DNA mismatch repair genes.
