@jim18 Defense mechanisms turning into weapons. I guess if you give something 4 billion years to mutate, bad things can happen. Very interesting

@fritzo I do not know of any defect that is an actual weapon. They just stop working to prevent/correct mutations that occur. Another way to look at it is that a normally functioning BRCA2 prevents breast cancer in about half of women (since about half of women with defective BRCA2 get breast cancer).
