So what is this ‘c’ word anyway? It is a disease of the genes, which are part of a human DNA. Many changes in the DNA are accidental. Cells constantly divide and each time that they do, they have to copy their genetic code completely. When this process takes place, which happens all day every day, sometimes mistakes happen and the replication isn’t exact which results in altered cells.
