Scientists have discovered seven new DNA regions that are linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer. A study of prostate cancer patients found variants in these DNA regions that are associated with carcinogenesis. This discovery may help explain the 25% risk of familial prostate cancer. Identifying the specific genes and DNA regions involved in prostate cancer risk could allow for new prevention techniques.

4. The DNA is a complex macromolecule formed two helices, forming pairs of bases that according the order they follow, they encode one function or they don’t encode any function. The DNA is organized in chromosomes that, in the human being, they are organized in 23 pairs of different chromosomes. INTRODUCTION

5. Prostate cancer has become much more common in men, resulting in some prostate cells mutate and begin to multiply uncontrollably, which can spread to other parts of the body causing metastasis. Seven in One Blow: Scientists Discover DNA Regions Influencing Prostate Cancer Risk

6. Several discoveries have identified genes associated with prostate cancer, including 16 different DNA regions linked to an increase in cancer which has led to several studies in order to get to find new variables that relate specific gene.

9. STUDENT OBSERVATION Studies are important contributions in medicine as they lead to the implementation of new prevention techniques for people with risk of prostate cancer, achieving in the future a decrease in the number of cases.

10. Cancer is uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells or malignant cells multiply when the body needs them and die when the body does not need. HEBREW U. SCIENTISTS IDENTIFY MOLECULAR BASIS FOR DNA BREAKAGE

11. In cancer DNA breakage is characteristic that makes it present a series of mutations that alter the normal functioning of the body as is the process of replication. HEBREW U. SCIENTISTS IDENTIFY MOLECULAR BASIS FOR DNA BREAKAGE

12. The fragile sites are the parts that are most affected during the early stages of cancer because they are the first structures to break causing the breakdown of DNA. HEBREW U. SCIENTISTS IDENTIFY MOLECULAR BASIS FOR DNA BREAKAGE

13. The Replication is essential for the transfer of genetic information from generation to generation which is the basis of heredity. The end result of this process two identical molecules to the original. HEBREW U. SCIENTISTS IDENTIFY MOLECULAR BASIS FOR DNA BREAKAGE

14. STUDENT OBSERVATION This is research that provides important and significant results as analyzing the molecular basis of the breakdown of DNA may carry out treatment for filing or treat cancer, based all the features that are affected in this type of pathology and what these causes in human life.
