GENE IDENTIFIED THAT DRIVES AGGRESSIVE FORM OF BREAST CANCER

Written by James McIntosh

team of researchers have identified a gene that drives one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer. They hope that by finding a way to block the gene they may be able to make the cancer less aggressive.In their study, published in Nature Communications, the researchers found that the gene known as “inhibitor of differentiation 4” (ID4) not only indicates a highly aggressive form of triple-negative breast cancer but also appears to control it.
