(16) Pedigree studies have suggested that there may be an inherited predisposition to many apparently nonfamilial colorectal cancers and a genetic model of tumorigenesis in common colorectal cancer has been proposed that includes the activation of dominantly acting oncogenes and the inactivation of growth suppressor genes.

Definition:
(adv.) Alt. of Outwards

(a.) Tending to the exterior or outside.
(n.) External form; exterior.
Example Sentences:
