Cancer Mutations In The Heart Of Gene Regulation

Researchers have identified a new cancer gene -- one that is common to many cancers and affects the most basic regulation of our genes. The new example -- a gene on the X chromosome called UTX -- is found in 10 percent of cases of multiple myeloma and eight percent of esophageal cancers. When "tumor suppressor genes" such as this are inactivated, other genes can run riot.
