INTRODUCTION

Some  studies  have  helped humans  increasing  all  the creations they’ve gotten.Using  diffferent  techniques  to look  for  new  solutions,  for example, gene mapping.

• The researchers fouond a gene that is changed in human cancers  creating an anueplidy.

• It generates an abnormal number of chromosomes.

• Usually the part the is missing is called STAG2.

• The main cancers where this gene is mutated are in:

 -  Glioblastoma multiforme

 -  Malignant Melanoma

 - Ewing's sarcoma

• The inactivation of this gene doesn’t regulate the cellular division.

• Of that way begins the fight against cancer.

• And every peace un cells starts the dision.

• When they identify the mutation they used a technique, that perform the mutant genes.

• It makes easier researchers’ life and doctor’s life too.

• Students discoverded that happiness can be in any place. 

• They wanted to make easier lives and they make their dream come true. Only trying and trying.

• Lung cancer patients with ALK rearrangement gave a good response  to crizotinib.

• FISH is conseidered the main method for detecting the ilness.

• The researchers created CISH (chromogenic in situ hybridization).

• Comparing it with fish detecting faster a mutatant gene.

• There was a big agreement between FISH and CISH.

• CISH, gave good results, for the study.

• Two international Institutes gave help and trust them.

• These researches are a good entrance for scientific world, increasing the search rate for access to research about different illness.

• Knowing how to work every gen and the effects that they make if they’re mutated are very importan in the medical practice.

• Several changes we can make if we know the mechanism of  a gene.

• Cancer has shown that is very dificult cutting it off, till today.

• New treatments get set better every life. For that reason is important help the studies to grow up and trust them to receive the apropiate response.
