Unraveling predisposition in bilateral Wilms tumor

Children with bilateral Wilms tumor have a tumor in each of their kidneys—a condition that strongly suggests an underlying genetic or epigenetic predisposition driving the disease. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research ...

The role of the epigenome in cancer revealed in new study

For decades, scientists have been sequencing the DNA of many cancer types, identifying errors in the genetic code to help understand the formation of tumors, how they grow and what leads to their spread. But sometimes cancer ...

Targeting cancer's hidden master regulators

Cancer research has long focused on targeting the genetic mutations that drive tumors. Many of these genetic changes affect genes that allow mutated cells to replicate out of control. While developing drugs to target these ...
