Ascertainment of Saliva or Blood Samples For Genetic Epidemiology Studies of Cancer and Aging

Summary

The purpose of this study is to help us learn more about the roles of genes in cancers. Genes are short pieces of DNA which determine the inherited characteristics that distinguish one individual from another. This study will look at how some genes might raise or lower the chance some people may develop cancer. The sample collection will help generate the materials needed for this study.
