who are born without one copy or they're born with a copy,

but something happens to that gene along the way.

Because it's a tumor suppressor gene,

these people that have mutations in this gene are more likely to get breast cancer.

But your genes are only a small part of the picture. So even with the

Broca 1 and Broca 2 population, their risk of getting breast cancer is around 84%, which means that
