The important point to remember is that transformation results from abnormalities in the normal growth regulatory program caused by gain-of-function mutations in proto-oncogenes. However, loss-of-function mutations also must occur in the tumor suppressor genes, repair enzymes, or activators of apoptosis for full transformation to a cancer cell. 

Faulty mismatch repair has been finked to fieredi-tary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC), one of die most common inherited cancers. Genetic smdies finked HNPCC in some families to a region of cfiromosome 2. The gene located, designated hMSH2, was sub-sequendy shown to encode the human analog of the... 

The repair of double-strand breaks is part of the physiologic process of immunoglobulin gene rearrangement. It... 

Section IV describes the structures and functions of the nucleotides and nucleic acids, and covers many major topics such as DNA replication and repair, RNA synthesis and modification, and protein synthesis. It also discusses new findings on how genes are regulated and presents the principles of recombinant DNA technology.
