Loss of Y chromosome in men could be early warning sign of cancer
The loss of the Y chromosome in men’s body tissue could pave the way for cancer to develop in that tissue. This is according to research published in JCI Insights, which highlighted that the loss of the chromosome, which is common in men as they age, creates a pre-neoplastic field effect, a hidden zone of genetic vulnerability in normal tissue that provides fertile ground for cancer to develop. Each cell in men’s bodies usually contains one X a…
