Abstract

Cancer is a complex disease caused by gene-environment interaction. In the same environmental exposure, the risk of individuals with different genetic backgrounds of cancer is very different. The related factors of tumor genetic research have important significance in understanding the genesis and development of tumor diagnosis and treatment. A genome-wide association study in recent years, the development of genome-wide (association study, GWAS) can be found that genetic factors associated with complex disease or phenotype in whole genome range, provides a powerful means for the study of complex disease genetics. Researchers in the United States and Europe using genome-wide closed method research, on a variety of common cancers studied, has obtained important results in. 2010, China scientists published a series of high the level of tumor genome-wide association study results in international core journals, the Chinese common tumor in genetic disease Significant progress has been made in the field of scientific research.
