Discovering New Genetic Markers in Adults and Children Who May Be At Risk for Hereditary Forms of Cancer

Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study is being done to attempt to identify genetic mutations or other gene-based variations in adults and children who have cancer, or are likely to develop an inherited form of cancer, and potentially reduce their risk for cancer or treat the cancer earlier.

Official title: Discovery and Characterization of Susceptibility Genes in Adults and Children With Suspected Hereditary Cancer Predisposition

Family History Information

The family history ascertainment focuses on self-reported family history of first-, second-, and third-degree family members, including types of malignancies/ pre-malignant lesions and age at diagnosis.

GENETIC

ORAGENE

Approximately 2-4mL of saliva may be collected in specialized Oragene DNA Self-Collection Kit tubes or buccal swab-based collection devices.
