Abstract

Despite extensive advancements in cancer genetics in North America and Europe, the African continent remains underrepresented in this vital research area. Here we highlight a pioneering collaborative project in Kenya, with a focus on expanding cancer genetics services and research into retinoblastoma, a prototypical heritable cancer syndrome.

肯尼亚在视网膜母细胞瘤遗传学方面取得进展

尽管北美和欧洲在癌症遗传学方面取得了广泛的进展，但非洲大陆在这一重要研究领域的代表性仍然不足。在此，我们重点介绍肯尼亚的一个开创性合作项目，其重点是扩大癌症遗传学服务和对视网膜母细胞瘤（一种典型的遗传性癌症综合征）的研究。

期刊介绍： Nature Genetics publishes the very highest quality research in genetics. It encompasses genetic and functional genomic studies on human and plant traits and on other model organisms. Current emphasis is on the genetic basis for common and complex diseases and on the functional mechanism, architecture and evolution of gene networks, studied by experimental perturbation. Integrative genetic topics comprise, but are not limited to: -Genes in the pathology of human disease -Molecular analysis of simple and complex genetic traits -Cancer genetics -Agricultural genomics -Developmental genetics -Regulatory variation in gene expression -Strategies and technologies for extracting function from genomic data -Pharmacological genomics -Genome evolution
