Genetic factors responsible for risk of breast and prostate cancer are largely unknown. Mutations in genes currently known to be associated with susceptibility only account for a small proportion of the familial aggregation of these cancers. I will be applying new genetic technology to population-based studies of cancer to identify new genetic and epigenetic markers of cancer risk. I will use this information to improve health care for families with prostate and breast cancer.

导致乳腺癌和前列腺癌风险的遗传因素在很大程度上尚不清楚。目前已知与易感性相关的基因突变仅占这些癌症家族聚集的一小部分。我将把新的遗传技术应用于基于人群的癌症研究，以确定癌症风险的新遗传和表观遗传标记。我将利用这些信息来改善患有前列腺癌和乳腺癌的家庭的医疗保健。
