Vanderbilt researchers at have found new genes that put people at higher risk for colon cancer and rectal cancer. 

A new approach for conducting gene-based analyses for cancer susceptibility created at Vanderbilt outperforms existing models.

Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center research is providing new insights into how genetic variants convey breast cancer susceptibility by altering the transcription factor proteins that convert DNA strands into RNA.

Vanderbilt epidemiologists identified new markers for colorectal cancer risk and characterized a previously unidentified tumor suppressor that regulates overall tumor volume in vivo.

New findings demonstrate how genetic variations in the receptor that binds SARS-CoV-2 impact virus recognition and infectivity and offer insights to COVID-19 susceptibility and treatment.

Gene variants associated with cancer risk appear to contribute to carcinogenesis by regulating target genes that in turn promote the generation of mutations.

A special genetic analysis has revealed candidate genes associated with increased risk of breast cancer.
