Two novel genetic mutations that occur in 71 percent of malignant melanoma tumors have been discovered by scientists. The mutations, detected in a part of the cancer genome that controls genes but not in the genes themselves, could aid understanding and lead to treatment of one of the world's most lethal cancers or stop its progression. It "represents an initial foray into the 'dark matter' of the cancer genome," said Dr. Levi Garraway, of the Dana-Farber ...Monday, 28 January 2013
Study Says New Mutations may Show How Cancers Grow
Two novel genetic mutations that occur in 71 percent of malignant melanoma tumors have been discovered by scientists. The mutations, detected in a part of the cancer genome that controls genes but not in the genes themselves, could aid understanding and lead to treatment of one of the world's most lethal cancers or stop its progression.
