A Comparative Study of the Molecular Characteristics of Familial Gliomas and Other Cancers
Conclusion: Familial cancers are likely driven by multiple, individually weak contributions to familiality (i.e. large numbers of alleles and/or shared environmental risks). Consequently, these risk factors tend to be obscured by stronger confounding variables such as clinical or molecular variation among cancer subtypes.
