| Resumo: | Neoplasms are characterized by the disordered and uncontrollable development
of cells in the body, thus materializing malignant neoplasms, in which cells that multiply and
have the ability to invade other organs and tissues. Cancer is an ancient disease, identified since
the era of Hippocrates, which has grown considerably throughout the world. Genes, therefore,
being segments of a DNA molecule, characterized by the presence of a specific DNA sequence
containing a code for the production of a protein responsible for certain functions in the body,
can undergo changes and trigger the emergence of different types of cancer. The MUTYH gene
is a base excision repair enzyme with a fundamental role in correcting DNA errors in guanine
oxidation and is also considered a cellular protection factor. The largest number of studies
carried out refers to the association between the Mutyh gene and the development of colorectal
cancer, being verified that patients with this type of neoplasm have more mutation variants in
this gene and the non-functional Mutyh predisposes to carcinogenesis. |
