Una red de colaboración internacional identifica 72 variantes genéticas que contribuyen al desarrollo del tumor
Nature publica hoy el estudio que contó con datos de 275.000 mujeres, 3.000 de ellas gallegas
Setenta y dos nuevas variantes genéticas que contribuyen al riesgo de desarrollar cáncer de mama han sido identificadas por una importante colaboración internacional que involucra a investigadores de todo el mundo.
Scientists are inching closer to a test to determine the likelihood of breast cancer, after discovering 72 new genetic variants that help predict a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer.
The world’s biggest ever genetic study of breast cancer has discovered 72 new genetic variants that put women at higher risk of the disease. Researchers from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute co-led the major international collaboration, which collated and analysed data from 275,000 women across the globe.
In what’s being billed as the world’s largest collective study on the genetics of breast cancer, researchers have discovered 72 new gene variants that appear to be responsible for increasing the risk of developing the disease.
University of Toronto researchers have helped identify 72 new genetic variants that contribute to the risk of developing breast cancer as part of a major international collaboration involving hundreds of researchers worldwide.
SCIENTISTS have discovered dozens of new genetic markers that increase a woman’s breast cancer chances, paving the way for the possibility of more effective screening, better treatments and risk-reduction medications.
Researchers hope new discoveries will help explain why some women are predisposed to breast cancer, as well as why certain forms are harder to treat.
