Defense of a Master’s Thesis by Rawan Obaid in the Molecular Genetics and Genetic Toxicology Program

Researcher Rawan Nael Obaid, a student in the Master’s program in Molecular Genetics and Genetic Toxicology, has defended her thesis titled "Functional Assessment of a Novel Mutation (SMAD4, p. Cys115Arg) in Palestinian Patient with Colorectal Cancer".

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and the second most common cause of death worldwide. In the State of Palestine, it is the second most common cancer after breast cancer. Because of this widespread prevalence, detecting the causes of colon cancer has become essential. Genetic tests have become one of the most important and advanced methods for detecting cancer and to help determine the course of treatment. In this study, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology was used to identify genetic variants that contribute to tumors in colorectal cancer.
