Study Summary

This research trial studies germ-line mutations in blood and saliva samples from patients with cancer. Studying samples of blood and saliva from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about how inherited genetic mutations can affect cancer predisposition (an inherited increase in the risk of developing cancer), their impact on treatment response, and their role in cancer development.

Primary Outcome

The prevalence of germ-line variants of interest will be compared to the baseline prevalence found using available large human genomic DNA collections. The primary statistical analysis will involve comparisons of genotypes between with (cases) and without (controls) the germ-line mutation. This analysis will include Pearson's chi-square analysis or Fisher's exact test and computation of odds ratios to assess the relationship of the genetic polymorphism and cancer risk.
