ABSTRACT:
A screening method for identifying an individual having a pre-disposition towards having a cancer is disclosed, which screening method comprises the steps of:(a) obtaining a test sample comprising a nucleotide sequence comprised in the MYH gene of the individual or an amino acid sequence of a polypeptide expressed thereby; and(b) comparing a region of the test sample sequence with the corresponding region of the wild type sequence,whereby a difference between the test sample sequence and the wild type sequence signifies that the individual is pre-disposed to having the cancer; and wherein the difference comprises a specified variation.
