## Abstract The GATA family of transcription factors promotes the normal development of the gastrointestinal tract during embryogenesis and determines tissue differentiation in adult gut epithelium. Loss of GATAβ4 and GATAβ5 has been reported in human gastric and colon cancer. We examined GATAβ4,β5
The MSR1 gene at 8p22 has been suggested as a candidate gene for hereditary prostate cancer because germline variants have been found to be associated with the disease. Aside from a single nonsense mutation (R293X) that was found repeatedly at low frequencies in several samples, little evidence has
Familial risks for colorectal (CRC) adenocarcinoma were characterized from the Swedish Family-Cancer Database covering 9.6 million individuals, whose family relationships and cancers were obtained from registered sources, not sensitive to reporting or ascertainment bias. Cancer cases were retrieved
