Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have revealed that a genetic mutation caused by ultraviolet light might be the driving force behind millions of human skin cancers. The mutation occurs in a gene called KNSTRN, which is involved in helping cells divide their DNA equally during cell division. Genes that cause cancer when mutated are known as oncogenes. Although KNSTRN hasn't been previously implicated as a cause of human cancers, ...
