Cohort studies for characterizing measured genes
J Natl Cancer Inst Monogr.
1999.
Abstract
We describe the advantages of using established cohort studies that have collected blood samples to investigate the role of genes in the etiology of cancer. These studies include the cost-efficiency and reliability of nested case-control substudies from the cohort for exploration of gene-disease associations and gene-environment interactions as well as gene penetrance. Also, the cohort may serve as a well-defined "mini-population" from which to study population stratification and molecular markers of ethnicity. We conclude that cohort studies can play a significant role in assessing the role of genetic markers for common tumors or multiple cancer sites.
