Svensk definition
Gener som blockerar uttryck av den cancerogena fenotypen. Deras normala uppgift är att hämma celltillväxt. När dessa suppressorgener inaktiveras eller saknas, faller en barriär för normal celltillväxt bort, och ohämmad tillväxt blir möjlig.
Engelsk definition
Genes that inhibit expression of the tumorigenic phenotype. They are normally involved in holding cellular growth in check. When tumor suppressor genes are inactivated or lost, a barrier to normal proliferation is removed and unregulated growth is possible.
