Penn Medicine researchers identify four new genetic factors for testicular cancer

A new study looking at the genomes of more than 13,000 men identified four new genetic variants associated with an increased risk of testicular cancer, the most commonly diagnosed type in young men today. The findings from this first-of-its-kind meta-analysis were reported online in Nature Genetics by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Read more here.
