En forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet har identifierat en ny mekanism som kopplar metabolismen av RNA, ribonukleinsyra, till utvecklingen av leukemi hos patienter med blodsjukdomen myelodysplastiskt syndrom, MDS. När viktiga komponenter i RNA-metabolismen störs, ökar antalet genetiska mutationer vilket leder till utveckling av cancer. Studien publiceras i Molecular Cell. Vår genetiska information
