Scientists Gain Insight Into The Genetics Of Breast Cancer March 15, 2000 Researchers in Iowa have uncovered a basic genetic process that may contribute to some 80 percent of breast cancers. The process, called methylation, can affect the DNA of certain cells, thereby silencing genes that prevent tumor growth. Methylation is controlled by enzymes in the breast-cancer cells, ``and generally any process mediated by enzymes can often be affected by pharmacological interventions,' said the study's lead author Frederick Domann, associate professor of radiology in the free radical and radiation biology program at the University of Iowa, in Iowa City.
