Hereditary breast-cancer gene discovered






GOTEBORG, Sweden (UPI) -- Women with Saethre-Chotzen syndrome run a nearly 20 times higher risk of contracting breast cancer, according to Swedish researchers. Scientists at the Lundberg Laboratory for Cancer Research and the Plastic Surgery Clinic at the Sahlgrenska Academy in Sweden mapped families with Saethre-Chotzen syndrome and found that women with this syndrome have an elevated risk of contracting breast cancer. Saethre-Chotzen is a syndrome that primarily involves malformations of the skull, face, hands and feet caused by mutations in a gene called TWIST1, according to Goran Stenman, of the Lundberg Laboratory for Cancer Research. "Our findings are extremely important, providing new knowledge of hereditary cancer genes and how they can cause breast cancer," Stenman said in a statement. "The discovery also makes it possible to uncover breast cancer in women who have a predisposition for Saethre-Chotzen malformation syndrome."
