Genetic variation influencing blood cell formation and blood cancer risk in humans
NILSSON GROUP Our researchThe Nilsson lab focuses on how inborn genetic variation influences blood cell formation and blood cancer risk in humans. In a first line of research, we study genetic predisposition for multiple myeloma (MM). Studies going back to the 1920s support familial aggregation of MM. Recently, we and others discovered sequence variants influencing MM risk, including common varian
