Truly, I had no idea.

""There are a number of genes that can cause cancer, the oncogenes.

Zbtb7 needed for the other oncogenes, represses the function of other proteins, including a tumor surpressor called ARF."

http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/54387.cfm

Interesting thing is that 'mom' also suffered from a brain tumor in '83. Fortunately, it was benign.

Apparently, the oncogenes are there, but Zbtb7 can cause cancer. We need ARF supressors too. (trying to make light of this one).

I have to say that I'm a bit shocked, especially since there's no known history of it in our family.

Again, thank you.
