Three breast cancer susceptible genes have been found

from Anhui Medical University Second Affiliated Hospital was informed that the hospital's oncology research team found three new breast cancer susceptible genes, the results of which were published in
.
, the world's genome-wide association research has identified more than 90 breast cancer susceptible points. In this study, researchers at the institute not only repeatedly verified known breast cancer susceptible points, but also identified two new coding variants: C21orf58 and ZNF526, and a new one at 7q21. 11 non-coding variants, which have a functional role in controlling the growth of breast cancer cells. This is a breakthrough discovery on a global scale. The study revealed new genes and places of genetic susceptivity in breast cancer, expanded the complex genetic background of breast cancer, and clinically expanded the potential gene selection for cancer gene screening, especially for Han women.
"s discovery of these new genes will help to better understand the genetics of breast cancer risk and better conduct breast cancer risk assessment. For high-risk women, screening can begin early so that disease can be detected early and precautions taken. Tang Copper, director of thyroid breast surgery at Anhui Medical University's Second Affiliated Hospital, said the discovery of individualized genetic information will help adjust breast cancer screening methods or pave the way for new targeted treatments, greatly reducing the risk.
