DESCRIPTION: (Adapted from investigator's abstract) The long-term goal of
this project is to identify tumor susceptibility genes involved in lung
cancer development. There are six specific aims: 1) to generate pedigrees
for lung cancer susceptible families; 2) to obtain normal and tumor tissue
samples from as many family members as possible; 3) to genotype DNA from
family members with appropriate markers; 4) to perform linkage analyses to
identify potential loci involved in lung cancer susceptibility; 5) to
genotype the entire genome with equally spaced microsatellite markers and
perform linkage analysis with these data; and, 6.) if putative loci are
localized, to refine the linkage map of the candidate loci.
Error Notice
The database may currently be offline for maintenance and should be operational soon. If not, we have been notified of this error and will be reviewing it shortly.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
