What Is The Relationship Between Mutation The Cell Cycle And Cancer? Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor. What is the relationship

How Does Hypermethylation Contribute To Cancer?

How Does Hypermethylation Contribute To Cancer? If a gene necessary for DNA repair is hypermethylated, resulting in deficient DNA repair, DNA damages will accumulate. Increased DNA damage tends to cause increased errors during DNA synthesis, leading to mutations that can give rise to cancer. What is the impact of hypermethylation and hypomethylation in cancer? The
