The discovery was made through looking at repetitive DNA — small, repeating sequences of genes that appear in over two million places in the genome. has discovered variations in a certain sequence — called estrogen related receptor gamma — which correlates with breast cancer. Three times more frequently, breast cancer patients have a longer version of this sequence, and that’s powerful information,And what it means is that this is a possible marker for your susceptibility for cancer. The important thing about a discovery like this is that there’s potential for its use in being both a diagnostic and a therapeutic.Though the team has already created a simple, standardized lab procedure to test a person’s status for the gene, it must be approved and commercialized before it can be used in hospitals and clinics.
