- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 遗传学 是一个遗传学.
- 分子生物学分子生物学
背景情况:
- 了解癌症的遗传基础需要分析大量的瘤集合.
- 肺腺癌是癌症相关死亡的主要原因,需要更深入的遗传洞察.
研究的目的:
- 在初级肺腺癌中识别体质突变.
- 发现肺腺癌中经常发生突变的基因及其在致癌过程中的潜在作用.
- 为了将突变概况与临床特征和DNA修复缺陷相关联.
主要方法:
- 在188种原发性肺腺癌中,对623个与癌症相关的基因进行了全面的DNA测序.
- 统计分析以确定显著突变的基因.
- 数据集成与单核酸多态阵列和基因表达阵列数据.
主要成果:

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...
