Canadian study of genetics to fight cancer

A very important long term study of genetics of a large population regards the effects of genetics on cancer has been initiated in Ottawa, Canada. This is going to be, hopefully, a very useful endeavour.
It will track
  • 300,000 randomly selected Canadians
  • ages 35 to 69
  • for at least the next 20 to 30 years

The study will be gathering information on health and lifestyle through surveys and the collection of blood and other specimens, according to the partnership.
