Genetic Risks for Childhood Cancer Complications in Switzerland
Sponsor: University Hospital, Geneva
Summary
The objectives of the GECCOS project are to identify genetic variants associated with complications of childhood cancer using genotype-phenotype association studies. Germline genetic samples and data of the "Germline DNA Biobank for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders Switzerland" (BISKIDS) which is included in the Geneva Biobank for Hematology and Oncology in Pediatrics (BaHOP) will be used with clinical data of Swiss childhood cancer patients collected at the Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine in Bern.
