Genetics of Breast Cancer: Risk Genes According to Recent Studies

Genomic studies have come a long way since its conception. Back then, genomics was only a field used for laboratory experiments. Today, scientists are now eyeing the use of genomics in medicine. This would allow for a clearer diagnosis of a person’s disease through their genome. As a current application of genomics in research, scientists use them to study similarities in the genes between patients with the same disease. Effectively, this tells us the root causes of such a disease in terms of genetics. In this discussion, we will try to uncover breast cancer through the scope of its genetics.
