Question:
The article “Gene’s Role in Cancer May Be Overstated” (San Luis Obispo Tribune, Au gust 21, 2002) states that “early studies that evaluated breast cancer risk among gene mutation carriers selected women in families where sisters, mothers, and grandmothers all had breast cancer. This created a statistical bias that skewed risk estimates for women in the general population.” Is the bias described here selection bias, measurement bias, or nonresponse bias? Explain.
