Abstract | |||
This study is a genetic admixture study of testicular germ cell tumors among African-American men. The study is predicated on the hypothesis that TGCT risk is conferred by one or more Caucasian alleles. The study will examine whether any of these 'Caucasian' alleles occur more frequently than would be expected among among African-American men. |
