The discovery of genes associated with Mesothelioma lung cancer
A scientific study of genetic map associated with lung cancer which plays an important role in the spread of this deadly disease.
Such a discovery would help to develop new strategies for the treatment of the disease.
He said that the study participants, researchers are looking more broadly DNA (A DNA), and it sheds light on the biological basis of lung cancer.
The researcher, said lead author Matthew Mershon, “The vision of the genetic map of lung cancer, unprecedented in both size and depth.”
He added that the study “establish an important foundation, and set the task of controlling gene on the growth of lung cells.”
A study published by the magazine “Nature,” the British 57 change in the gene occurs in patients with lung cancer.
The research took place more than 500 patients with lung cancer, and participated in many of the research project research centers around the world.
The scientists identified a gene that “Kai x 2.1″ to accelerate the growth of causing the cancer cells.
This could help scientists to reveal to devise ways to combat the specific treatment of lung cancer in addition to a wide range of cancers, according to researchers.
The director of the Institute, “AT & T or any Harvard Eric Lander,” The tools and techniques used in determining the genetic map of the lung cancer patients “is a generic approach that can be used to analyze all types of cancer.”
Referred to most cancers that afflict humans result from changes in DNA accumulate in cells throughout the period of a person’s life, but that the nature of those changes and their consequences are still unknown.
The World Health Organization says that the lung cancer to a 3.1 million people every year, making it one of the most lethal cancers.
