What is a cancer gene?
We have around 3 billion individual DNA molecules (nucleotides) in ea a mistake happening in making exact copies for each of the new cells. occasions when a fix cannot be applied and mutations occur. When normal cells mutate their function is altered. Proto-oncogenes, w become oncogenes. Oncogenes can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, suppressor genes - they work to regulate cell growth and division, but genes, cancer may develop. People may inherit errors in genes from their parents - these are calle certain cancers. Other factors that damage a cell’s DNA, such as toba - these are called somatic mutations. Genetic testing can sometimes identify specific faults that might be he which treatment is best for a patient. This is sometimes called persona
