Hereditary Breast Cancer High Impact Factor Journals

 Approximately 5 to 10 percent of cases of breast cancer are thought to be inherited, meaning they arise directly from gene changes (mutations) passed down from a parent. BRCA1 and BRCA2: An inherited mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene is the most common cause of hereditary breast cancer. Those genes help make proteins in normal cells that repair damaged DNA. Mutated versions of these genes can lead to abnormal cell growth, which can lead to cancer. On average, a woman with a mutation of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene has up to 7 in 10 chances of getting breast cancer by age 80. This risk is also influenced by how many many members of the family have had breast cancer. (It improves if more members of the family are affected.) People with one of these mutations are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger age, and to have cancer in both breasts.  Women with one of these gene changes also have a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer and some other cancers. (Men who inherit one of these gene changes also have a higher risk of breast cancer, as well as prostate and some other cancers. The open access journal would provide platform and empower scholars, students, engineers and professionals to share their technical and academic expertise in all fields in Breast Cancer.
