Genetic susceptibility markers for a breast-colorectal cancer phenotype: Exploratory results from genome-wide association studies.

Genetic susceptibility markers for a breast-colorectal cancer phenotype: Exploratory results from genome-wide association studies.

BACKGROUND:Clustering of breast and colorectal cancer has been observed within some families and cannot be explained by chance or known high-risk mutations in major susceptibility genes. Potential shared genetic susceptibility between breast and colorectal cancer, not explained by high-penetrance ge...
