Afternoon Stock Report - DCGN - It's Not Just the Sun: deCODE Discovers Sequence Variants Affecting Susceptibility to Skin Cancer - Sourced WhisperFromWallStreet.com
deCODE genetics Inc. DCGN
Scientists at deCODE genetics (Nasdaq: DCGN - News) and academic colleagues from Europe and the United States today present in the journal Nature Genetics the discovery of common genetic risk factors for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) that affect people with fair and dark complexions alike. deCODE had previously discovered five common single-letter variants in the sequence of the human genome (SNPs) linked to risk of BCC, the most common cancer in people of European descent. However, most of these earlier findings were also correlated with fair skin, well known to accompany vulnerability to the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation in sunlight.
