Dec. 27, 2004 - If your cousin has cancer, you may also be at risk for the disease. That&#39;s according to a new study that suggests the family-associated increased risk of some cancers may extend well beyond the immediate family.

NEW YORK  - Gene variants that lead to   decreased amounts of an enzyme known as GSTM1 may raise the   risk of lung cancer related to radon exposure, new research   suggests. The gene variants also seem to increase the   cancer-causing effect of secondhand smoke.
