Potential new prognostic tool found in genes common to tobacco-associated cancers
In Dancik's opinion, the discovery of correlation between cell cycle gene signatures and patient outcomes is an important first step in developing new ways to predict the risks of tobacco-associated cancers. The work now is in integrating this finding wi

Blood test could identify smokers most at risk of cancer
Some smokers have a low level of a DNA repair enzyme, which puts them at high risk of lung cancer. Although smoking is the major risk factor for developing lung cancer, only ten per cent of heavy smokers actually get cancer, suggesting that other factors

[North Carolina] Study of smokers' genes yields age-related addiction factor
Belsky and his team examined differences in genes that affect the human brain’s ability to respond to and metabolize nicotine. The researchers found variations in these genes among thousands of adult smokers, and developed a “risk score” that could accura

Adenomatous Polyposis Coli-Mediated Accumulation of Abasic DNA Lesions Lead to Cigarette Smoke Condensate-Induced Neoplastic Transformation of Normal Breast Epithelial Cells
we have examined the molecular mechanisms by which CSC and its major component, Benzo[α]pyrene, enhances APC-mediated accumulation of abasic DNA lesions ... provide experimental evidence that CSC, a surrogate for active or passive (secondhand) smoking, ma
