Zeroing in on a breast cancer susceptibility gene
Article Abstract:
Researcher Mary-Claire King discovered that one gene is responsible for 5% of all breast cancers. Women with the defective gene have an 80% to 90% breast cancer risk. Identification of the gene could help to develop new methods of early detection.
