This study aims to identify genetic factors that influence the development of endometrial and other cancers, and to develop statistical and laboratory methods that can better determine if variation in a known cancer gene is disease-causing. The results will be used to identify and prioritise individuals at greatest risk of cancer for the most appropriate clinical management. Discovery of novel cancer genes will improve our understanding of disease development to develop future therapies.

这项研究旨在确定影响子宫内膜癌和其他癌症发生的遗传因素，并开发统计和实验室方法，以更好地确定已知癌症基因的变异是否致病。这些结果将被用来识别和优先考虑癌症风险最高的个人，以便进行最适当的临床治疗。新的癌症基因的发现将提高我们对疾病发展的理解，从而开发未来的治疗方法。
