Investigate mutations in specific genes that can lead to abnormal cell division and proliferation, which can lead to cancer.

Leader cells are both genetically and behaviorally different from the main body of the tumor. Researchers hope to identify the genetic mutations that cause cells to become leaders to give them new opportunities for treating breast cancers and preventing metastasis.
What makes some cells become “leaders” and others “followers”? Can we predict if a cell will become a “leader” or “follower”?
Investigate mutations in specific genes that can lead to abnormal cell division and proliferation, which can lead to cancer. Provide detailed information, in your own words, with references provided, about the specific mutation you have chosen and its role in the progression of cancer.
