Genetic Variants Influence Metastasis in Breast Cancer
Metastasis plays a crucial role in breast cancer patients' outcomes, with most cancer deaths associated with this process. While traditional studies have struggled to identify relevant genetic variants, a recent research paper highlights the significance of germline variants in influencing metastasis. Through Episthesis Network analysis, researchers identified genes that modulate the development of metastasis in breast cancer patients by interacting with other variants. This study emphasizes how the host's genetic makeup can impact gene expression, promoting the establishment of a conducive environment for metastatic seeds.
