Large Gene panel helpful in identifying cancer-causing genes ANI | Updated: Feb 06, 2021 14:14 IST Washington [US], February 6 (ANI): Researchers during a recent study have found a gene panel that includes all genes known to potentially cause cancer. This can be readily adopted for use in clinical laboratories to diagnose acute myeloid leukemia, or AML. The 523-gene panel, which looks about 10 times the number of cancer-causing genes, developed by San Diego-based biotech company Illumina, is currently used to diagnose and fine-tune treatment for a variety of cancers is effective at identifying problematic genes in the most common leukemia. The investigators reported in the journal PLOS ONE.
