Gene Variants Make Some People More Susceptible To Colon Cancer

The research provides potential new avenues for diagnosing and treating the disease. Led by Frances Sladek at UC Riverside and Graham Robertson at the University of Sydney, Australia, the team analyzed about 450 human colon cancer specimens and found that in nearly 80 percent of them the variants of a gene, HNF4A, are out of balance...
