What does cancer gene mean?

# data[].attributes.body
All cancers are caused by some abnormalities in the DNA sequence. It is thought that 10-15% of cancers are hereditary, that is, inherited by genes from parents, and the remaining 85-90% is shaped by the exposure of DNA in living cells to mutagens throughout life, mild progressive changes in cell DNA and errors in replication.

Since the division and control of cells is under the control of genes, cancer is basically a disease related to genes. Genes on chromosomes are tightly packed, and physical or chemical changes on these genes can directly affect cell function. Although DNA repair systems try to restore the function of the gene due to damage to the gene, success is not always achieved. In this case, incomplete or faulty production of proteins, which are the products of genes, leads to deterioration in cellular functions.

The cellular events that occur in the process from one cell division to the next form the cell cycle.The interphase phase of the cell cycle is the process between mitotic divisions. Meanwhile, the cell grows and copies its DNA.  During G1, the cell prepares for DNA synthesis by accumulating enzymes and molecules necessary for DNA replication.G1 is followed by the S phase, in which the cell's chromosomal DNA is copied. During G2, the cell continues to grow and prepare for division. During the M phase, the duplicated chromosomes are condensed, sister chromosomes separate to opposite poles, and the cell divides in two.

Cancer cells show chromosomal abnormalities, genomic instability, and higher mutation rates than normal.

"genetic cancer" or "hereditary cancer"?
Being hereditary of cancer is not the same thing as being inherited. In some cases, the harmful genetic mutation that will cause cancer is passed from the mother or father to the newborn baby. The child is born with this mutation, and some of these people develop cancer in later ages. These are called "hereditary cancers". Because other cancers that are not hereditary and that develop in the person over time are also “genetic” after all. It constitutes most of the non-hereditary and cancer diseases, about 80-90%
