...newly discovered defect does not in itself produce cancer in the way that an inherited defect causes cystic fibrosis or sickle-cell anemia. "What the mutant gene does is create a predisposition to cancer," Vogelstein explains. "And it's only with additional mutations after birth that the cancer will appear...
What is remarkable -- and entirely novel -- about the gene is that it may actively promote the accumulation of genetic errors, eventually causing a cell to become malignant. That was "a major surprise," says Albert de la Chapelle, chairman of the department of medical genetics at the University of Helsinki. "It doesn't work at all like we and others had thought." As reported in Science, the researchers estimate that 1 in 200 people carries the defective gene. Of the 95% of them who will eventually develop cancer, 60% will get colon cancer and the rest will develop a variety...
