cancer suppressor gene การใช้

In more than 90 percent of cases, the first to go bad is one called APC . APC is known as a cancer suppressor gene, since its usual duty is overseeing other genes that regulate the normal cycle of cells'growth and death.
The result does not necessarily mean that the gene is not connected with colon cancer, said Dr . Eric R . Fearon of the University of Michigan, who originally identified DCC ( for " deleted in colorectal cancer " ) as a possible colon cancer suppressor gene, because the experiment was done in mice and they are not always a good model for human cancer development.
