[CG Membership Roster] [CG Meeting Rosters]

The Cancer Genetics [CG] Study Section reviews applications related to the causal agents and target genes involved in tumor pathogenesis.  Organ-specific carcinogenesis is included in this study section.  Studies using both mammalian and non-mammalian models are included. Specific areas covered by CG:
 

• Oncogene discovery, genomics, and proteomics (including molecular and biochemical profiling), Animal models for gene discovery, positional cloning
• Cancer genetics: including hereditary and somatic DNA alterations, allelic imbalance. and Loss of heterozygosity (LOH)
• Epigenetics: including DNA methylation and imprinting
• Genomic instability: including microsatellite and chromosomal instability
• Susceptibility/modifier genes that modify susceptibility to cancer without allelic loss  including low penetrance genes identified in human and animal models
