A new research study reveals that a diverse group of apparently unrelated genes that are associated with pheochromocytoma intersect at a common pathway that drives the necessary culling of cells. Mutations in these genes disrupt the normal disposal of unneeded or damaged cells during development, thereby allowing potentially dangerous premalignant cells that should not have survived to persist. The mechanism described in the work may play a role in other forms of pediatric and hereditary cancer as well.
