%0 Journal Article %T Moving from one to many: insights from the growing list of pleiotropic cancer risk genes %J - %D 2019 %R https://doi.org/10.1038/s41416-019-0475-9 %X Pleiotropy, a phenomenon in which a single gene affects multiple phenotypes, is becoming very common among different cancer types and cancer-related phenotypes, such as those in hormonal, cardiometabolic and inflammatory/immune conditions. The discovery of pleiotropic associations can improve our understanding of cancer and help to target investigation of genes with greater clinical relevance %U https://www.nature.com/articles/s41416-019-0475-9
