Many tumor
suppressor and receptor
genes have been
reported to be hypermethylated and transcriptionally silenced during the development of different types of cancers.
Genomic deletions promote cancer by carving up or eliminating tumor -
suppressor genes, but now scientists
report in the journal Nature that...
Two
genes were already recurrently mutated in the 7 WGS cases: RUNX1, a known myeloid tumor
suppressor, and UMODL1, for which mutations were recently
reported in multiple myeloma and ovarian cancer.
Mutations in one of these
genes, NF1 — a known tumor
suppressor gene that regulates the RTK / RAS / RAF pathway — had previously been
reported in lung cancer.
Of these, 126
genes were orthologous to protein - coding
genes in the human genome (hereafter, human BC susceptibility
genes, hBCSGs), 70 % of which are previously
reported cancer - associated
genes, and ∼ 16 % are known BC
suppressor genes.
