Abstract:

During the last two decays the tremendous success in molecular biology and genetics which has surprised the entire world. So that today the sequencing of whole genome has been possible for each human individual to estimate its being affected with cardiovascular and cancer diseases. However, these achievements have some important limitations and deep ethical issues which might be ignored. Genetic diagnosis of cancer shows that how we should look at our predictions. In this article, some of the unseen truth regarding genetic tests for breast cancer is discussed. This could be extended to other genetic diseases and cancer.

The importance of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes mutations in breast cancer development

Many factors including genetic, environmental, and acquired are involved in breast cancer development across various societies. Among all of these factors in families with a history of breast cancer throughout several generations, genetics, like predisposing genes to develop this disease, should be considered more. Early detection of mutation carriers in these genes, in turn, can play an import...
