Breast Cancer Survivors Families Epidemiology & Genomics can Stop Cancer in its Tracks


Epidemiology: The study of the patterns, causes, and control of disease in groups of people.
Genomics: The study of the complete genetic material, including genes and their functions, of an organism.

Cancer epidemiology seeks to understand the biological, environmental and social risk factors of cancer with the goal of guiding efforts at prevention and

treatment. Examples of cancer research by Hybrid GenConnect researchers includes evaluation of the efficacy of chemoprevention to prevent secondary tumors, the association between racial disparities in breast cancer survival, the relationship between insulin resistance and breast cancer incidence, and the identification of genetic cancer susceptibility risk factors
Although genetic influences on breast cancer risk have been recognized for many years, high-throughput genotyping involving genome-wide association studies has transformed research on the etiology of cancer and many other diseases. This technological breakthrough and the agnostic search for signals have opened up avenues for research that otherwise would have remained hidden for years. For instance, we may not know why a variant in a "gene desert" (a stretch of DNA devoid of protein-encoding genes) is consistently associated with risks of breast, prostate, and several other cancers, but we must infer that an important model of genes and cancer induction needs major revision
Hybrid GenConnect Inc Genetic research experts within the Breast Cancer Division are investigating the role of genes in such diseases as Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, respiratory diseases and vision disorders. Understanding the genetics of these diseases involves locating and characterizing the underlying genes, characterizing the extent and utility of DNA variation within and among populations, determining how patterns of DNA variation evolved in time and space, and establishing the impact of gene variation on the health of individuals, families and populations. Hybrid researchers are also responsible for developing computational and bioinformatic approaches and resources for investigating the genetic etiology of disease.
Hybrid GenConnect Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE), which is led by a team at Park Plaza Hospital, hope that pooling their combined resources will help speed the process of defining all the genetic factors involved in Breast Cancer. “Our first efforts will be to bring together all the data from the different groups so that they can be analyzed,” for Drug Safety/Epidemiology.
The new biorepository facility offers a wide range of storage options, including automated carousel controlled-room temperature storage at 15oC to 27oC, bulk sample storage at 15oC to 27oC, walk-in cold sample storage -20oC to 5oC, ultra-low temperature storage -70C to -80C, and -190oC vapor phase liquid nitrogen. In addition, Hybrid GenConnect maintains FDA 21 CFR Part 11 validated technology systems and adheres to U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations, as well as U.S. Department of Transportation and International Air Transport Association guidelines.

  1. Every day thousands of patients die with a condition caused by the disease of cancer. This terrible disease, in its different forms, has a long process of evolution and must go through a series of premalignas stages known as Dysplasia, until you reach the final stage.It is very important to stress that cancer disease be detected in time, it could be treated with a 100% effectiveness.
