Synopsis

This text is aimed at oncologists, clinical geneticists and others with an interest in cancer research. It deals with the role of genetic predisposition to both the rarer cancer syndromes, and the more recent discoveries in the common cancers. The techniques used to search for cancer-predisposing genes, genetic linkage and gene cloning, are described in detail, assuming only a very basic knowledge of genetics.
