Tumor suppressor genes are often viewed as the body’s built-in defense system against cancer. They produce proteins that help maintain and repair DNA, reducing the chances that harmful mutations will accumulate. When these genes stop working properly or are present at low levels, cancer risk can rise. But new research suggests that having too much of one DNA repair protein can also be a problem. Researchers at Penn State College of Medicine found that excessive activity of the gene EXO1 can damage DNA rather than protect it. Instead of repairing genetic material, too much EXO1 can break down DNA and…
