Department of Molecular Oncology researchers identify a genetic link between several rare cancers
Dr. David Huntsman and colleagues, including Drs. Aparicio, Sorensen and Shah, have identified mutations in a gene called DICER in rare, seemingly unrelated ovarian, uterine, and testicular cancers. When the group began sequencing the genomes of these and other rare tumours, they expected to find different gene mutations in each form of the disease. However, […]
