Mutations in tumor suppressor genes can lead to the production of faulty proteins that fail to inhibit cell division, resulting in uncontrolled proliferation and cancer.
- mutation causes faulty/abnormal protein to be produced - fails to inhibit cell division by mitosis - uncontrolled cell divsion occurs
