Scientists map all the possible outcomes of changes to key tumor-suppressing gene

Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have created a map of all potential effects of changes to a tumour-suppressing gene known as VHL. The map may help determine which patients are at risk of kidney cancer or may respond to specific drugs. By tracking over 2,000 VHL variants in human cells, researchers found that most variants did not affect cell survival, implying that these particular variants may not significantly increase cancer risk.
