It's not all genetic: Common epigenetic problem doubles cancer risk in mice
...Unlike most genes, the copy of IGF2 that should be silent depends only on which parent it came from, a situation called genomic imprinting. For IGF2, the copy inherited from the mother is always supposed to be turned off. In the mice and in some people, however, cells lack the epigenetic "marks" that sit o...Researchers trace evolution to relatively simple genetic changes
