Our "fishing net" of 16K SNPs is highly efficient. In fact, we found a similar number of SNPs associated with all 6 cancers we looked at: breast, colon, lung, ovary, pancreas, and prostate. Perhaps 23andMe would like to join forces with us. The six cancers our cancer Healthchip(r) covers make up 2/3 of new cancer cases in whites, excluding skin cancer. And our SNPnet(tm) should work for most of the additional cancers, and perhaps even the remaining ethnic groups. If not, we have a larger version SNPnet(tm), consisting of 80K SNPs covering the entire genome. Best regards, Dave Moskowitz MD FACP CEO GenoMed, Inc.
