How can mutations in non-coding segments of DNA contribute to the development of cancers?

Video transcript

Everyone. Let's take a look at this question together, this acquired mutation is the most common factor in cancer causing mutations. More than 50% of cancers have a mutation in the blank gene. So let's recall what we know about each of these genes to figure out Which gene mutation is the most common factor in cancer causing mutations. So when we're talking about cancer causing mutations, we know that the gene that is most frequently altered is that P- 53 gene. Because approximately 50 of tumors have a defective or absent P 53 gene. And we know that most mutations in this P 53 gene are required. So that makes answer choice. D. P. 53 gene the best gene for the answer to this question. Because more than 50% of cancers have that mutation in the P 53 gene and it is the most common factor in cancer causing mutations. So answer choice D. Is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
