Genetic Predisposition to Sporadic Cancer: How to Handle Major Effects of Minor Genes? by Remond J. A. Fijneman

“…As a consequence, although allelic variation in one TSG on a permissive genetic Background can have major effects on tumor development, the net effect of allelic variation in multiple interacting TSGs remains hard to predict. Therefore, the predictive value of SNP-analysis to estimate an individuals cancer risk will be restricted to those TSGs that exhibit single-gene effects. …”
