A large number of moles – a reason to go to the doctor.
For many years, scientists tried to prove the theory that the number of moles and the likelihood of developing cancer in humans is directly correlated. To sensational conclusions reached by scientists from the UK. They found in the human genome gene 2, which regulate both the formation of moles, and the development of cancer.
Was investigated the genetic codes of more than 1,500 female twins. It turned out that the presence of these two genes leads to the formation of a large number of moles and at the same time doubles the risk of skin cancer.
However, scientists have assured that the reason not to panic: “Moles are common to all people of Europe and the probability that they are formed by cancer cells, is very small. But if you have a lot of moles, especially if they are large, then you need to get tested
