An in-depth exploration of molecular biology, inheritance patterns, and genomic structures.
This document explores the role of genetic factors in the development of cancer. It categorizes genes involved in cancer into tumor suppressor genes, proto-oncogenes, and DNA repair genes. It also discusses specific genes like ATM, BRCA1/2, RB1, APC, p53, and Ras, along with their functions and associated cancers. The text highlights the interplay between genetic predisposition and environmental factors, and the concept of epigenetic modifications.
