Dr Miriam Stoppard on the news that newly identified genes linked to breast cancer could eventually be included in tests to pinpoint women with an increased risk of the disease
The researchers found evidence for at least four new breast cancer risk genes, with suggestive evidence for many others
Scientists have found at least four new genes associated with breast cancer that may help identify women at increased risk of the disease. The finding, published recently in the journal Nature Genetics, also provides crucial information on the biological mechanisms underlying cancer development, potentially opening the way to identifying new treatments.
An international team of scientists from Canada and the UK has identified four new genes associated with breast cancer, and potentially more, that could be included in tests to identify women at increased risk.Globally, more than 2.3 million ...
