A member asked:
Does pancreatic/biliary duct, stomach, colon cancer or leukemia skip a generation? please, need some answers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unrelated: These tumors are independent and unrelated to a genetic passing down of a familial situation such as with the BRACA gene in breast cancer. Genetic association occurs in about 5% of cases and 95% of cancers are due to contact with carcinogens or viruses. It has now been shown that intrinsic gene factors can be passed down and skip a generation such as with the partial sequence of the MMTV virus.
