ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

CDKN2C

CDKN2C is like a traffic guard who helps control when cells grow and divide. Just like we have roads and lanes to help us get to where we want to go, our cells follow certain rules for when and how they should grow and divide. CDKN2C helps keep the rules in check, making sure cells don't grow too fast or divide too often. It's like having a teacher who reminds us to follow the rules and behave in class. When CDKN2C doesn't work properly, cells can grow out of control, like when a bunch of cars break the speed limit and cause chaos on the roads. This can lead to diseases like cancer. So, in short, CDKN2C is an important traffic guard for our cells that helps prevent them from misbehaving and causing trouble.
