... have been traced to specific mutations in single cancer susceptibility genes. With breast cancer, the BRCA1 and BRCA2 susceptibility genes have been tightly linked to the inherited form of this disease. At the cellular level, both BRCA1 and BRCA2 act as tumor-suppressor genes in that they encode pro ...

Cancer epigenetics



Cancer epigenetics is the study of epigenetic modifications to the genome of cancer cells that do not involve a change in the nucleotide sequence. Epigenetic alterations are as important as genetic mutations in a cell’s transformation to cancer, and their manipulation holds great promise for cancer prevention, detection, and therapy. In different types of cancer, a variety of epigenetic mechanisms can be perturbed, such as silencing of tumor suppressor genes and activation of oncogenes by altered CpG island methylation patterns, histone modifications, and dysregulation of DNA binding proteins. Several medications which have epigenetic impact are now used in several of these diseases.
