Document Summary

Chromosomes: multiple copies of mycn are amplified within one large region called the. Heterogenous staining region (green: genome instability driving force for tumorgenesis, genomic instability is minimized by, high-fidelity dna replication in s-phase. Cyclin b levels increase in g2: 2. Cyclin b binds to inactive cdk1: 3. Active cdk1/cyclin b complexes phosphorylate m phase proteins: 4. Cell cycle regulation and cancer: age 1-3, 40% of all cases are familial. In retinoblastoma cells there is no functional rb protein. Thus, e2f activates genes required for g1/s transition; the g1/s checkpoint is overridden and uncontrolled growth and tumor formation occurs: gene mutations and familial breast cancer, brca1 (chromosome 17) Inherited as an autosomal dominant trait: 85% of women with brca1 allele develop a mutation in a second allele and get breast cancer. Increased rate of ovarian cancer: brca2 (chromosome 13) Inherited in an autosomal dominant manner: no increase in ovarian cancer, studies suggest that these genes are involved with dna repair.
