Overview
The newly formed Laboratory of Translational Genomics (LTG) in the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) is committed to understanding the contribution of germ-line genetic variation to cancer etiology and outcomes. The mission of the LTG is to investigate the genetic basis of strong association signals identified in candidate gene association studies, loci identified by linkage analyses in high-risk families, or genome-wide association studies (GWAS), particularly the loci identified by the ongoing Cancer Genetic Markers of Susceptibility (CGEMS) program involving GWAS of several major cancers.
