RESEARCHERS
DISCOVER INHERITED MUTATION FOR LEUKEMIA

the first inherited gene mutation that increases a person’s risk
for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, one of the most common forms of the
disease. The study shows that the inherited mutation greatly reduces

change occurs later that turns the gene off altogether, leading to

leukemia, and may lead to new strategies for treating the disease. Read
