Exploring the Genetic Etiology of Cancer

DCEG investigators were some of the first in the early 2000s to adopt the emerging technology of genome-wide association studies. Supported by the newly established Cancer Genomics Research Laboratory, they investigated common inherited variation associated with cancer and other diseases.

•	Learn about the Genetic Etiology of Cancer
•	Read about the Cancer Genomics Research Laboratory

Genetic, environmental factors and APOBEC mutagenesis

DCEG Investigators link common genetic variants associated with cancer and the pattern of somatic mutations caused by APOBEC3 enzymes.

•	Read more about the study of APOBEC mutagenesis
•	Read more about Dr. Ludmilla Prokunina-Olsson and Dr. Rouf Banday

The Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) is a research program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Division is the world’s most comprehensive cancer epidemiology research group. Its renowned epidemiologists, geneticists, and biostatisticians conduct population and multidisciplinary research to discover the genetic and environmental determinants of cancer and new approaches to cancer prevention. The Division’s research impacts public health policy in the United States and around the world.
