Big Data Analysis Identifies New Cancer Risk Genes
A newly developed statistical method has allowed researchers to identify 13 cancer predisposition risk genes, 10 of which, the scientists say, are new discoveries.... Read More...
Men and Women Have Different Genetic Risk Factors for Developing Brain Cancer
Researchers have identified three regions in the genome where significant genetic differences between the sexes exist. These differences also varied by cancer type. The findings suggest specific genetic tests tailored to the different sexes could help assess cancer risks.... Read More...
