Deep dive into DNA: new study hunts for hidden hereditary cancer clues
NCT ID NCT03857594
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the complete DNA and RNA of 10 people and their families who are at high risk for hereditary cancer but have no known genetic cause. Researchers will use whole genome sequencing and tumor analysis to discover new genetic changes that may lead to cancer. The goal is to better understand why some families have a strong history of cancer and find potential new targets for treatment.
