It is only in the past decade,  however, that molecular genetics and epidemiology have combined to  define the role of inheritance in cancer more clearly, and to identify  some of the genes involved. The causative genes can be tracked through  cancer-prone families via genetic linkage and positional cloning.  Several of the genes discovered have subsequently been proved to play  critical roles in normal growth and development. There are also  implications for the families themselves in terms of genetic testing  with its attendant dilemmas, if it is not clear that useful action  will result. \u003cbr\u003e  The chapters in \u003cem\u003eThe Genetics of Cancer\u003c\/em\u003e illustrate what has  already been achieved and take a critical look at the future  directions of this research and its potential clinical applications.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401042949\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401042949\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0677-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 221\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341358788748,"sku":"9789401042949","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401042949.jpg?v=1755043358","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401042949","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
