First seen Nov 05, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study searches for brand-new gene changes that appear in children but not in their parents, which might raise cancer risk. Researchers will compare DNA from 1,275 cancer patients (with breast, colon, or other cancers) and their healthy parents. The goal is to find these hidden mutations and better understand who may be at higher risk for cancer.
