Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in the UK - and it’s likely that you are already aware of its heartbreaking impact on families. Statistics show one woman is diagnosed every ten minutes, leading to around 55,000 cases and 11,500 deaths annually.
However, you may be less aware of inherited breast cancer. According to Breast Cancer UK, 15% of people with the condition have a family history of the disease - and inherited mutations in genes account for about 4-6% of all cases.
