According to a study from Odense, Denmark, "Breast cancer cells exhibit complex karyotypic alterations causing deregulation of numerous genes. Some of these genes are probably causal for cancer formation and local growth whereas others are causal for the various steps of metastasis." "In a fraction of tumors deregulation of the same genes might be caused by epigenetic modulations, point mutations or the influence of other genes.
