A gene change that increases the risk of getting breast, ovarian or prostate cancer.

…of changes (or variants) in these genes are known to be associated with breast cancer risk, for many changes the clinical significance is unknown,” she said. ”Genetic testing of breast cancer susceptibility genes frequently identifies gene variants of uncertain clinical…

…of this research, giving greater hope to Queenslanders who carry the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene variants,” Ms Clift said. “There are many misconceptions and a lot of confusion about how genetics influence cancer risk –it’s important we set the record…

A test that analyses the activity of a group of genes that affect how a cancer is likely to behave and respond to treatment….

…us a better understanding of why. “Identifying the faulty gene will give people a better chance of preventing, detecting and hopefully treating the disease – with scientists highlighting the gene as a potential drug target. “In future, this early detection…
