    March 26, 2021 // - Recently, in a research report titled "The landscape of the heritable cancer genome" published in the international journal Cancer Research , scientists from the University of Edinburgh and other institutions said through research that, Revealing new cancer mutations may be expected to help enhance the diagnosis of cancer and the development of personalized anti-cancer therapies.

    In this study, the genetic mutations discovered by the researchers are inherited from parents to children.


    Compared with mutations that occur accidentally with age or other risk factors (such as smoking or sun exposure), cancers caused by genetic errors were previously considered very rare.


    Previous studies have found that for individual populations, such genetic mutations may not significantly increase the risk of cancer, and they are often excluded from further research.


    Research results show that these collective mutations increase the possibility of cancer, including late-onset cancers, such as prostate cancer and bladder cancer.

    In general, in this study, the researchers identified 1146 genes, which are called cancer heritability genes (CHGs, cancer heritability genes), which often promote an individual's chance of developing cancer in their lifetime.
