In what is claimed to be path-breaking finding, city-based researchers have identified 114 genetic variants which cause oral cancer in humans. The study has also revealed key genetic signatures that can predict survival in oral cancer patients with over 90% accuracy.
On the occasion of World Cancer Day on Friday, C.N. Ashwatha Narayana, Minister for IT/BT and Science and Technology, at a press conference, said the research was conducted jointly by Institute of Bioinformatics and Applied Biotechnology (IBAB), an institute set up by State Department of IT/BT, and doctors from HCG Cancer Centre, using state-of-the-art genomics facility at IBAB.
