Mashup Score: 9Genetic biomarkers strongly influence breast cancer’s course - 3 month(s) ago
While mutations acquired throughout a lifetime influence whether breast cancer develops, inherited mutations are surprisingly influential as well.
Source: stanmed.stanford.eduCategories: General Medicine News, General NewsTweet-
Only a few high-profile mutations in genes like BRCA1 and BRCA2 are regularly used to predict cancer risk. New findings suggest that tens or maybe even hundreds of other inherited gene variants influence breast cancer development for better or worse. https://t.co/i3g8apgraT
