Two mutations in the BRCA1 gene greatly increase the risk of breast cancer. Now, it seems that only one mutation can help cells tip toward a cancerous edge.
Profiling over 100,000 genomes, researchers identified rare mutations associated with early menopause and cancer, and that some mutations pass down to children.
Researchers have uncovered a collection of previously unknown genetic changes in Hodgkin lymphoma cells and reconstructed a timeline of when they develop, paving the way for new treatments.
