Genetics in Luminal B Breast Cancer
It is estimated that around 5 to 10 percent of breast cancer cases are associated with gene mutations, which are passed from parents to children in the same family. Scientists have found out several mutated genes that can be inherited and increase the risk of developing breast cancer. These include BRCA1 and BRCA2, both of which may significantly increase the likelihood of ovarian and breast cancer. If you have a family history of these condition, your healthcare provider would suggest a blood test to find particular mutations or genes. You can also visit a genetic counsellor to do a genetic testing. [6]
