Researchers identify DNA changes, biological pathways associated with inherited cancer risk Stanford Medicine researchers sifted through thousands of single nucleotide mutations in DNA to identify fewer than 400 that are functionally associated with inherited cancer risk.

Stanford researchers identified 380 DNA variants tied to inherited cancer risk—the largest study of its kind. Many involve inflammation-linked genes, opening doors to more precise screening and prevention. Learn more: med.stanford.edu/news/all-new... #CancerResearch #StanfordMedicine
