Over the past two decades, the study of cancer genetics has provided new insights into the biological diversity of human cancers through high-throughput technologies. Research in this area has improved our understanding of the diversity of somatic variation in DNA and how these sequence changes (as well as epigenetic changes) lead to oncogenic phenotypes.
Cancer genetics can be subdivided into three main areas of study: analysis of patient populations; the impact chromosome biology on phenotypes; and mutagenesis and the impact of variation on gene function. Through these studies, we obtain knowledge on the molecular underpinnings of cancer and avenues through which therapeutics may be developed.
