==Research==
In 1996, after the discovery of the BRCA2 gene, Offit and his research group successfully identified the most common mutation on the gene associated with breast and ovarian cancer among individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. Offit's group would go on to discover or describe recurrent mutations causing increased risk for colon and prostate cancer, and, in 2013 and 2015, they described two genetic syndromes of inherited childhood lymphoblastic leukemia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_153506.html )〕
Offit was honored for his contributions to the prevention and management of cancer with the 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology-American Cancer Society Award and Lecture. He is also the author of a textbook, ''Clinical Cancer Genetics: Risk Counseling and Management'', which received an award in Medical Sciences from the Association of American Publishers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.dfcimasterclass.com/Speaker/Detail.aspx?cid=c7b83fe9-f5ce-4839-a0c3-ae64389a271c )〕
