DNA repair gene variations reveal evolutionary roots of cancer susceptibility
DNA
Compuscript Ltd May 24 2026 A new review highlights how human evolution has shaped the presence of pathogenic variations in DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, offering a new perspective on why modern populations face increased cancer susceptibility. By connecting genetic change with the history of human populations, the article reveals how biological processes that once supported survival now also influence disease risk. DNA damage repair genes play a fundamental role in maintaining genome
