LINDA IN YORKSURE

I can think of almost no reasons to live in Los Angeles. One exception is the presence there of Cedars-Sinai Caner Institute, one of the very best in the world. They have recently published the results of some research, summarized below, done in conjunction with Cambridge University. The work involved the influence of “copy variations” on ovarian cancer susceptibility. Copy variations occur when dividing cells misplace or miscount a segment of DNA. The segment may be duplicated, misplaced, or eliminated altogether. If that “segment” is a gene associated with cancer prevention, such as BRCA, bad things may occur, It isn’t clear to me how this bit of knowledge will help eliminate OVCA – but, then, I’m just a dumb geologist. Anyway, read the article; it’s interesting. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20221011/Two-new-studies-help-improve-the-understanding-of-ovarian-cancer.aspx
