Sentences with phrase «target driver genes»

This understanding of cancer's evolution has key implications for treatment, he noted, «In addition to pointing out that we will need to target driver genes that are mutated early in cancer, this evolutionary approach provides a method that accurately characterizes which genes are being mutated early and late.

The Cancer Gene Census (CGC) database contains 547 such gene across various cancer types.5 Remarkably, few driver genes having specific point mutations appear to be sufficient to rewire signalling networks in cancer, 1 which at the same time shows that — at least from the mutational side — cancer does not consist of an «infinite» number of different diseases, and in many cases treatment options targeted against driver genes might be transferred from one case to the nGene Census (CGC) database contains 547 such gene across various cancer types.5 Remarkably, few driver genes having specific point mutations appear to be sufficient to rewire signalling networks in cancer, 1 which at the same time shows that — at least from the mutational side — cancer does not consist of an «infinite» number of different diseases, and in many cases treatment options targeted against driver genes might be transferred from one case to the ngene across various cancer types.5 Remarkably, few driver genes having specific point mutations appear to be sufficient to rewire signalling networks in cancer, 1 which at the same time shows that — at least from the mutational side — cancer does not consist of an «infinite» number of different diseases, and in many cases treatment options targeted against driver genes might be transferred from one case to the next.
