100 kinds of newly discovered mutation of the new genes can cause cancer.

Scientists <P> After the study, found that more than 100 in the mutated gene can cause cancer of the new, which shows the number of cancer genes is far greater than people originally thought, but also for the development of additional anti-cancer drug hope. .</ P> <P> According to reports, all cancers are considered to be caused by mutations in specific genes in DNA. .University of Cambridge, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute Cancer Genome Project director Mike Stratton said that after 25 years of painstaking research, scientists have now discovered that the 25,000 kinds of human genes, about 350 genes are available .fear of cancer genes. .</ P> <P> Stratton multi-country study led by Professor within the group, including China, the United States, the Netherlands, Australia, Belgium scientists. .They studied 210 kinds of cancer cells, 500 genes. .Andrew Ford Laurel Sanger Institute, said, as these genes as switches, controls cell growth and death, and mutation process. .</ P> <P> tested, they found some of these genes in 100 new cancer genes, far beyond their expectations. .Ford, Demirel said that according to previous research, he would have been expected only found in their sample of 10 cancer-causing genes. .This shows that the gene can lead to cancer is far greater than the number of people originally thought. .</ P> <P> scientists found in cancer cells around 1,000 genetic variants. .These mutations can be divided into two categories, carcinogenic, one does not have carcinogenic, in which the majority of non-carcinogenic mutation. .However, non-carcinogenic in many cancer-causing mutation in the hidden variation. .</ P> <P> scientists also discovered a gene mutation never before seen mode of transmission, taking anti-cancer drugs, ultraviolet radiation and smoking is one of a number of reasons, but for other reasons is still the need for further study. .Scientists have found more than 100 new cancer genes, for the development of anticancer drugs to add a new hope. .</ P> </ p>.
