Environ 10 % de tous les cancers du sein ont une cause héréditaire sous-jacente. Il est vrai que la plupart des formes héréditaires de cancer du sein sont dues à des variants des gènes BRCA1 ou BRCA2, mais depuis leur découverte au milieu des années 1990, des chercheurs et des cliniciens ont identifié un nombre croissant d'autres gènes du cancer du sein qui peuvent avoir un impact significatif sur son risque et ses recommandations de dépistage du cancer. 1, record 1, French, - g%C3%A8ne%20du%20cancer%20du%20sein
