Proper Citation: NCI Breast and Colon Cancer Family Registries (RRID:SCR_006664)
Description: The Breast Cancer Family Registry (Breast CFR) and the Colon Cancer Family Registry (Colon CFR) were established by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as a unique resource for investigators to use in conducting studies on the genetics and molecular epidemiology of breast and colon cancer. Known collectively as the CFRs, they share a central goal: the translation of research to the clinical and prevention settings for the benefit of Registry participants and the general public. The CFRs are particularly interested in: * Identifying and characterizing cancer susceptibility genes; * Defining gene-gene and gene-environment interactions in cancer etiology; and * Exploring the translational, preventive, and behavioral implications of research findings. The CFRs do not provide funding for studies; however, researchers can apply to access CFR data and biospecimens contributed by thousands of families from across the spectrum of risk for these cancers and from population-based or relative controls. Special features of the CFRs include: * Population-based and clinic-based ascertainment; * Systematic collection of validated family history; * Epidemiologic risk factor , clinical, and followup data; * Biospecimens (including tumor blocks and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed cell lines); * Ongoing molecular characterization of the participating families; and * A combined informatics center.
