Article Synopsis
- Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common and serious cancer in the U.S., affecting about 135,000 people each year and causing around 50,000 deaths.
- Some people with a genetic disease called autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), which affects kidneys, might have a lower chance of getting CRC.
- Studies using mice show that when the gene PKD1 is missing, it can reduce the risk and growth of CRC, possibly helping us understand how genetics influence this type of cancer.
