Study genes linked to cancer risk and how they may be affected
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at tiny genetic changes (called microRNA binding site mutations) to understand how they relate to cancer risk, prevention, and treatment. If you (or close family members) have had cancer, and you meet the study’s other requirements, your genetic information could help researchers learn how to better predict and manage cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have a personal history of cancer or a family history of cancer
- Also have endometriosis or an autoimmune condition (if it’s personal history)
- Be able to read, understand, and sign the consent form in English

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at DNA (genetic information) from people and families who may have an inherited risk for cancer. It aims to find new genetic markers that can help explain cancer risk and guide future care.
This study looks at genetic changes linked to breast, ovarian, or digestive cancers. It may help doctors better understand inherited cancer risks.
This study looks for genetic changes that may explain why some people get cancer earlier or more often than expected. It may help identify cancer risk patterns in you and your family, and guide what doctors watch for next.
This study looks at whether DNA (from a tumor or related samples) can help identify inherited cancer risk in people who develop cancer at a young age. It may help families learn more about risk factors and guide future screening or prevention.
This study looks at people who have rare or unusual cancers or who may have an inherited (family) risk for cancer. It helps researchers learn what genetic or other factors might be involved by collecting family history and medical records, including pathology slides.
This study looks at genetic and other factors in people with certain cancers to better understand personal cancer risks and improve monitoring. It may help find ways to detect changes earlier.
