| Front | How does methylation of DNA in tumour suppressor genes lead to cancer? |
|---|---|
| Back | - methylation of DNA in promoter - binding transcriptional factors inhibited - RNA polymerase not stimulated to transcribe gene - rate of transcription decreases - rate of translation decreases - tumour suppressor protein is not produced - uncontrolled cell division occurs |
