You are studying a new type of cancer and you discover that there is a mutation in a gene that encodes a histone acetylase. You hypothesize that the mechanism by which this mutation causes cancer is by altering the expression of a gene involved in the control of cell proliferation by introducing a mutation in a gene involved in the control of cell proliferation mutating DNA repair genes introducing random mutations
