In a major study of hereditary breast cancer, a global network of researchers (including some from Lund University) has identified over 350 faults in DNA that increase an individual’s risk of developing the disease. The researchers believe that these faults can affect as many as 190 genes. Published in Nature Genetics, a scientific journal, the results are said to be the thus far most comprehensiv
