If they have a high risk, they might choose to be tested (see Understanding Genetic Testing for Cancer). If a mutation is present, the woman has a high risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer (as well as some other cancers). She can then consider steps to find cancer early and even lower her risk of getting cancer.
Genetic testing gives people the chance to learn if their family history of breast cancer is due to an inherited gene mutation (learn more). Most 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 ].o, genetic testing for BRCA1/2 mutations can affect a personâs medical care. Inherited gene mutations in some other genes (such as p53, CHEK2, ATM and PALB2) also increase breast cancer risk. Testing for some of these mutations exists.
