Increase the presence of certain genes, the risk of cancer

People have inherited, the exact copies of some genes at increased risk of susceptibility to cancer, scientists say. Two genes in the homozygous common in people. According to scientists, a number of genes contributes to increase susceptibility to cancer and the presence of two genes in a chromosome homozygous for susceptibility to cancer. The report on the study is published in the current issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Scientists conducted the study, 385 people with breast, prostate, brain, and compared them with a control group. Genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors affect the development of cancer that occurs mainly due to the DNA damage that contributes abnormal cell growth, experts say. Scientists believe that it is necessary to pay attention to the inheritance of genes in the homozygous state, as this will help to monitor and the risk of disease.
