Understanding the Mechanism of a Mutated Gene
Why does only one develop the disease, if two women have the same genetic mutation that puts them at higher-than-average risk of breast cancer. In the current issue of iPLOS Genetics/i, Michigan State University genetic scientists have begun to understand how the rest of the genome interacts with such mutations to cause the differences we see among individuals.
