Tumour Suppressor Genes | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the development of tumour suppressor genes. Inactivation of tumour suppressor genes also contributes to development of tumours. Normally, tumour suppressor genes act to inhibit cell proliferation and tumour development. When these genes are inactivated or lost they lead to abnormal proliferation of tumour cells. The first tumour suppressor gene was identified through studies [...]
