Using large, unbiased cohorts, two studies in The New England Journal of Medicine assessed the associations between germline variants in putative cancer susceptibility genes and the risk of breast cancer. They consistently identified a small set of genes as being the most informative for risk prediction, helping select high-risk women in the general population, and developing effective cancer prevention strategies.
利用大型、无偏倚的队列,《新英格兰医学杂志》上的两项研究评估了种系潜在癌症易感性基因变异与乳腺癌风险之间的关联。它们一致确定了一小部分基因对风险预测最具信息性,有助于在普通人群中选择高危女性,并制定有效的癌症预防策略。
