Research on carcinogenesis reported by scientists at Integrated Laboratory Systems, Inc.
November 22nd, 2007
Research findings, 'Genetic pathways and mutation profiles of human cancers: site- and exposure-specific patterns,' are discussed in a new report. According to a study from the United States, "Cancer is a complex disease that involves the accumulation of both genetic and epigenetic alterations of numerous genes. Data in the Genetic Alterations in Cancer database for gene mutations and allelic loss [loss of heterozygosity (LOH)] in human tumors (e.g. lung, oral, esophagus, stomach and colon/rectum) were reviewed." "Results for the genes and pathways implicated in tumor development at these sites are presented. Mutation incidence, spectra and codon specificity are...
