The Heritability of Cancer
Webinar | 15 April ‐ 16:00 | 45 minutes | www.genturis.eu ERN GENTURIS announces its first webinar to take place on Wednesday 15 April, 16:00. Prof. dr. Maurizio Genuardi, professor in medical genetics at Gemelli University Hospital in Rome, will kick off this series of monthly webinars with a lecture on the heritability of cancer. In this webinar the genetic architecture and the clinical markers of cancer predisposition will be discussed. Genetic factors account for about 37% of the total burden of cancer within a population. Currently, effective preventative measures can be undertaken only for carriers of genetic variants associated with high risk conditions, which overall account for 5‐10% of all cancers.Registration
