Consortium for the Sharing of Germ Line DNA and Tissue From Subjects With Mesothelioma
In Brief
An observational study for Mesothelioma. Completed, enrolled 69 participants across 6 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the possibility that a person's genes put a person at a higher risk of developing mesothelioma. The investigators will examine genes from DNA (genetic material) isolated from blood. This study will also examine the impact of environmental and work exposures and family history of common cancers on the development of mesothelioma. The genetic markers in this study will basically identify how a person's body processes frequently encountered environmental pollutants and will not tell about chromosomes, specific diseases, or other potential health problems.
