Cancer is mostly caused by genetic alteration in either of gain of function and/or loss of function in response to mutagens, ionizing radiations etc. Synthetic lethality raised as an exciting new avenue to kill cancer cells by identifying potential druggable targets. Synthetic lethality define as a lethal interaction between two separate viable mutations when present together within a cell results in cell death, while mutation is only in either of the genes alone, cell remains viable.
