Mutations in proto-oncogenes (coding for growth/cell cycle proteins) and tumor suppressor genes (coding for cell cycle inhibitors/apoptosis promoters) can cause cancer.
Mutations in proto-oncogenes (which code for cell cycle/growth proteins) and tumor suppressor genes (which code for cell cycle inhibitors/apoptosis promoters) can lead to cancer.
