New patterns in cancer genetics point at tumor suppressor genes as potential therapeutic targetsCancer is caused by genetic changes that occur in our cells over time. There are two main types of changes, namely somatic mutations, which are alterations in the DNA sequence, and copy number alterations, which are changes in the number of copies of a particular gene.
