The fundamental concept that cancers progress via accumulation of multiple genetic abnormalities is widely accepted. Loss of genome stability and integrity in the affected cells is a hallmark of the multi-step process of cancer, which progressively leads to uncontrolled cell growth and metastasis. Our Department focuses on identifying genomic changes, and signaling and metabolic pathways associated with tumour progression. Current activities include: Development and application of highly sensitive techniques to identify and track mutations in patient biopsies at the genome-wide level; Identification of novel tumour suppressor genes and oncogenes associated with various cancer; Elucidating the mechanism of signal transduction mediated by the extracellular matrix (ECM) particularly the family of integral plasma membrane receptors called integrin; Investigating the family of energy dependent ATP-binding membrane transport proteins associated with chemotherapy resistance, hormone secretion and programmed cell death.

Genetic Topics The field of developmental genetics investigates the genetic basis of the changes in form that an organism passes through during its life cycle. One cellular process that is common throughout these changes in form is cell division. The two cell division events that need to be controlled are the entry into the S-phase when DNA is replicated, and the entry into the M-phase when mitosis occurs. In this regard, two timing events need to be monitored by the cell. These are: when to initiate replication (S-phase entry) when to begin chromosomal condensations (M-phase entry) Related to these events are four factors that appear to control the entry into the M-phase. The accumulation of a specific cellular mass is a factor for somatic cells. This is called the mass factor Some cells need to obtain a specific growth rate for mitosis to begin. This is called the growth rate factor The time between successive M-phases appears to be controlled by timer or oscillator genes. This is the

http://mmg2.im.med.umich.edu/cancer

Extractions: Colorectal Cancer in People of Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jewish Descent Researchers recently identified a genetic mutation that helps predict the risk of developing colorectal cancer. The mutation is present in more than 670,000 of the world's 11.2 million Ashkenazi Jews (about 6%), making it the one of the more common cancer susceptibility genes. A new "gene test" for this mutation is now available. However, in many situations this and other "gene tests" are not needed to provide appropriate risk counseling. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer among men and women in the United States, and the average lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is about 6%. Some colorectal cancer is clearly related to genes that we inherit. However, for most cases of colorectal cancer the answer is, "We don't know." Several things are known to contribute to the development of colorectal cancer. A family history of colorectal cancer in a parent, brother, or sister doubles a person's risk. Diet also plays a role, with some foods increasing risk and others (like broccoli) decreasing risk. Not all of the factors that contribute to colorectal cancer are known. Are there different types of colorectal cancer?

If you have questions about this topic, you can ask your doctor, or call the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237). Knowledge about cancer genetics is rapidly expanding, with implications for all aspects of cancer management, including prevention, screening, and treatment. PDQ cancer genetics summaries refer to the genetics of specific cancers, inherited cancer syndromes, and the ethical, legal, social, and psychological implications of cancer genetics knowledge. Sections on the genetics of specific cancers include information on the prevalence and characteristics of cancer-predisposing mutations, the risk implications of a family history of cancer, known modifiers of genetic risk, opportunities for genetic testing, outcomes of genetic counseling and testing, and interventions available for people with increased cancer risk resulting from an inherited predisposition. Susceptibility to Cancer Genetic information, including information from family history and from DNA-based testing, provides a means to identify people who have an increased risk of cancer. Family history often identifies people with a moderately increased risk of cancer, and in some cases may be an indicator of the presence of polymorphisms (see Glossary) that influence cancer susceptibility, through such mechanisms as changes in the rate of metabolism of agents that predispose to cancer or catabolism of carcinogens, or effects on DNA repair or regulation of cell division. Less often, family history indicates the presence of an inherited cancer predisposition conferring a high lifetime risk of cancer. In some cases, DNA-based testing can be used to confirm a specific mutation as the cause of the inherited risk, and to determine whether family members have inherited the mutation.
