The APC gene is known to be involved in the development of cancer.

APC基因与癌症的发展过程有关。

When the APC gene is mutated, the epithelial cells start to quickly divide forming polyps.

当APC基因突变时，上皮细胞开始快速增殖，形成息肉。

Arbesfeld explains that the APC gene is what she calls the “gatekeeper” for the development of cancer.

阿贝斯菲尔德解释道，APC基因就是她所说的癌症发展的“看门人”。

They form when there is a mutation in the Adenomatous Polyposis Coli gene or APC gene, which is a tumor suppressor gene that regulates cell growth.

当结肠腺瘤样息肉病（APC）基因突变时，结肠腺瘤往往会形成；APC基因是一种调控细胞增殖的抑癌基因。
