I Cancer Genetic Markers of Susceptibility (CGEMS)

The Cancer Genetic Markers of Susceptibility (CGEMS) project is an NCI enterprise initiative to conduct whole genome association studies to identify genes giving rise to risk of prostate and breast cancer. The project is designed to capitalize on new knowledge of human genetic variation and technical advances in ultra-high-throughput genotyping. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common form of human genome variation.
