One third of the most common types of kidney cancer involve a mutation of the same gene, which is called PBRM1. Discovery offers new ideas on the complex biology of kidney cancer, and it turned out that the boom in PBRM1 along with other mutations are already known, and it seems that the disability of a protein that plays the role of shape in the structure of genetic material.

For example, it depends on the protein that allows other proteins to access DNA damage repair, and control of cell growth and other genes switch on and off. The group has recently identified three genes associated with changes in kidney cancer and found out that we are all involved in the change part of the "platform" for the colors that are the DNA in our cells together. Changes the colors can change behavior of genes.

This latest study and found that PBRM1 also a part of a complex protein called Somali National Front, Switzerland, which regulates the structure of chromatin.
