Implications of copy number variants of the genome in the etiology and progression of colorectal cancer (COLONGEVA)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

"Cancer susceptibility genes involved in Mendelian inherited forms of colorectal cancer (CRC) (e.g., Lynch Syndrome) may account for only 5% of all CRC cases. However, increased cancer risk because of a positive family history may vary from 25 up to 40%, and the genetic basis for this familial aggregation remains largely unknown. Recently, high-resolution genomic strategies have revealed an unprec ...
