‘Almost every cancer is unique,’ genes show
U. QUEENSLAND (AUS) —The discovery of nine new genes associated with breast cancer—bringing the total to 40 genes—underscores the disease’s genetic complexity.The study, published recently in the journal Nature, is part of an international initiative to sequence the genomes of a variety of cancers. Breast cancer researchers examined all the genes in the genomes of 100 cases of breast cancer....
