Researchers have identified three genes that play a pivotal role in the brain tumour, choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC), a discovery that lays the groundwork for more effective treatment of this rare, often fatal cancer.  The genes, TAF12, NFYC and RAD54L, are all involved in DNA repair and regulation. The researchers showed that CPC often has at least one extra copy of each gene and demonstrated … Continue reading Researchers have identified the first oncogenes responsible for the brain tumour, choroid plexus carcinoma.
