Hunt for hidden cancer genes: families needed to unlock hereditary secrets
NCT ID NCT03050268
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to discover new genes that may cause certain cancers to run in families. Researchers will collect blood samples and health information from 1,500 people in families where multiple members have had cancer, especially childhood cancers. The goal is to build a registry and sample bank to help future diagnosis and care. Participants may not receive individual results, but the knowledge gained could improve understanding of hereditary cancer.
