A new celebrity that performs in both of these is the human patched gene, which plays many roles during development and now makes an entrance as a tumor suppressor. The evidence exposing this latest alias of «patched», a faulty version of which is associated with a complex of cancers kwown as nevoid basal cell-carcinoma (NBCC) syndrome was described last month in Cell and Science.
