Novel analysis identifies unique proliferation gene alterations in diverse cancer patients

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260615/Novel-analysis-identifies-unique-proliferation-gene-alterations-in-diverse-cancer-patients.aspx New research to be presented today (Monday) at the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics shows that a cancer patient's genetic ancestry can have a significant effect both on how their disease progresses and their survival. In the largest study of its kind, researchers examined nearly 1,900 specific genetic changes in tumors in order to measure whether certain mutations were more common in patients with different historic geographic origins.
