   Breast cancer genes. If you have a very strong family history of certain cancers, there might be a faulty gene in your family that increases your risk of breast cancer. We know about several gene faults that can increase breast cancer risk and there are tests for some of them. Genes that increase the risk of breast cancer are BRCA1 and BRCA2.

Some inherited gene mutations are linked to a family cancer syndrome (also called an inherited or hereditary cancer syndrome), such as Lynch syndrome. About 5% to 10% of all cancers are inherited.

   Should breast cancer-specific inherited mutations be enhanced in patients with a family history?

   • The increased level of TNBC and luminal B subtypes of breast cancer in patients with a family history of breast cancer in our cohort supported the rationale of enrichment of breast cancer-specific inherited mutations. One of the major advantages of our study is the large patient cohort.
