She can then consider steps to find cancer early and even lower her risk of getting cancer.
Of the genes linked with breast cancer, BRCA1 and BRCA2 are the most well-understood. When a person is found to have a mutation in one of these genes, there are special recommendations for breast cancer screening, risk-lowering options and care.So, genetic testing for BRCA1/2 mutations can affect a personâs medical care.ost women who get breast cancer do not have an inherited gene mutation. Five to 10 percent of breast cancers in the U.S. are linked to an inherited gene mutation [ 4,35 ]. BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BReast CAncer genes 1 and 2) are the best-known genes linked to breast cancer (learn more).
