Deskripsi

In the classic two-hit model, both alleles of a tumour suppressor gene need to be inactivated in order to promote cancer. Here, the authors challenge this model, finding that many cancer genes can be either one-hit or two-hit drivers depending on the context and other mutations in a tumor.
