The Te Awamatu woman has a Barristers & Solicitors faulty BRCA1 gene, meaning she has a 50 to 85 per cent lifetime risk of developing breast cancer.

The study, featuring in the journal Nature Medicine, centres on the BRCA1 gene, which is found in all humans and normally expressed in breast cells and other tissue, where they help repair damaged DNA. Using samples of breast tissue donated by women carrying a faulty BRCA1 gene, Ms Nolan and colleagues Professors Jane Visvader and Geoff Lindeman found cancer “precursor” cells proliferated and were susceptible to damage to their DNA — both factors that help them transition Tessa Hopson says a lot of women will find it reassuring that there THE RAGLAN CHRONICLE towards cancer. might be a preventive alternative to surgery.
