Gene discovery opens door to tackling disease

sor Leedman said.

The findings are to be published in the international journal, Molecular Cell, today, Friday, June 9.

Professor Leedman and his team have now applied for a patent on the gene.

Professor Leedman, who is also deputy director of WAIMR, is recognized internationally for his work on hormones. Several funding bodies have contributed to this work, including the National Health and Medical Research Council, the National Breast Cancer Foundation, the Cancer Council of WA and the Royal Perth Hospital Medical Research Foundation.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Australian women, and about 2500 women and men die each year from breast and prostate cancer.
