1 One form of Stickler syndrome is due to mutation in the COL2A1 gene on chromosome 12 in region 12q13.11-q13.2. It is termed Stickler syndrome, type I and symbolized STL1.  A second form of Stickler syndrome is caused by mutation in the COL11A1 gene on chromosome 1 in region 1p21.
Recent technical advances in this field will give rise to conceptual advances and there is every reason to believe that a new field of cancer genetics is emerging, named here Oncogenetics: a branch of genetics describing the cause of effects of genes causing neoplasia.
Carcinogenesis or oncogenesis or tumorigenesis is the actual formation of a cancer, whereby normal cells are transformed into cancer cells.ells often die if they are damaged, through failure of a vital process or the immune system; however, sometimes damage will knock out a single cancer gene. In an old person, there are thousands, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of knocked-out cells.
