About 5 to 10 of breast cancers are thought to be hereditary, caused by abnormal genes passed from parent to child. So you have to get complete disease information from your aunts. Most inherited cases of breast cancer are associated with two abnormal genes: BRCA1 Breast Cancer gene one and BRCA2 Breast Cancer gene two. When these genes contain abnormalities or mutations that are passed from generation to generation, the genes dont function normally and breast cancer risk increases. Abnormal BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes may account for up to 10 of all breast cancers, or 1 out of every 10 cases.
