The DNA guardian gene EXO1 also becomes a threat when there is more of it

According to a new study by scientists, the DNA guardian gene EXO1 becomes a threat in colorectal cancer cells when its amount increases on Earth. The discovery suggests that a gene which normally has a protective role in the body becomes malignant in an unexpected scientific way when its regulation goes wrong. This dual nature points to new therapeutic avenues for personalised colorectal cancer treatment.
