HHMI investigators have detected a multitude of broken, missing, and overactive genes in pancreatic and brain tumors, in the most detailed genetic survey yet of any human tumor. Some of these genetic changes were previously unknown and could provide new leads for improved diagnosis and therapy for these devastating cancers. The discoveries, described in two reports published September 4, 2008, in Science Express, which provides early electronic publication of selected Science papers, emerged from the sequencing of nearly all the known protein-making genes in pancreatic cancers and in the most common form of brain tumors, glioblastomas. The study adds numerous...
