Abstract excerpt
Cancer is a genetic disease caused by defective control of cell proliferation. As cancer cells divide, the genetic defect is inherited by each daughter cell, leading to tumour development with possible progression to malignancy. The identification of those genes linked with cancer is essential for our understanding of the regulation of cell proliferation and for the therapeutic management of cancer cell growth....
