Are rich people at greater genetic risk for cancer? What the experts say
nypost.comTL;DR: No, it's a confounding variable, because more affluent people are more likely to be screened, despite the Post's wanna-be eugenics-justifying title.
"A new, large study out of Finland suggests that people with good jobs have a greater genetic risk for cancer, especially breast and prostate cancers," but Dr. Jiyoung Ahn "believes screening behavior is key to this research," saying, "It is well-established that if you have higher socioeconomic status, you are more likely to get screened."
