For example, scientists recently discovered that mutations in the human version of a gene that controls fruit fly growth and development are the likely cause of both the basal cell nevus syndrome, a rare inherited disorder, and sporadic basal cell carcinoma of the skin, the most common human cancer. In addition to skin cancer, mutations in the human version of patched result in basal cell nevus syndrome, a rare condition in which affected individuals suffer various cancers, including, often, hundreds of basal cell carcinomas, and developmental defects such as fused ribs, extra digits, spina bifida, and oversized heads. Both groups were seeking the source of a rare - but virulent - related disease known as basal cell nevus syndrome, which mostly affects children who have been exposed to the sun. |
