Genetics of cancer
Across
- 3. inactivation of gene leads to increased likelihood of cancer (constrains cell proliferation)
- 6. Changes of an individual base pair of a DNA sequence
- 7. Part of a chromosome is joined to another chromosome
- 8. Tumour suppressor gene present in over 50% of all cancers
- 9. from single base pairs to whole gene, to large region of chromosome or entire chromosome, This can be detected by karyotype analysis (structural abnormality)
Down
- 1. a cancer inducing gene
- 2. normal gene likely to be involved in essential functions (proliferation & differentiation)
- 4. A heritable change in genetic material
- 5. increased copies of a gene contributing to oncogenesis by increasing expressions of the gene
