Scientists hunt for hidden cancer gene in families

NCT ID NCT04792463

Summary

This study aims to better understand how inherited changes in the BAP1 gene increase the risk for several types of cancer, including eye and skin melanoma, kidney cancer, and mesothelioma. Researchers will enroll 500 participants who have a personal or strong family history of these cancers to learn about the patterns and timing of disease. The goal is to gather knowledge that will help improve future screening, prevention advice, and family counseling for people with this genetic risk.
