About 1-2% of cases run in families and have been linked to specific gene mutations.

However, a larger series of 12 cases revealed no p53 gene mutations.

You do not have certain gene mutations or chromosome changes.

Qualitative differences in the type of gene mutations have also been reported.

Rather than p16 gene mutations being frequent, they appeared to be rare.

Other gene mutations are also known to contribute to development of resistance.

Scientists can then evaluate the cells and any gene mutations.

The parents and other children may have no sign of the disease, suggesting a gene mutation, probably before conception.

Up to 10 percent of those cancers are thought to be caused by inherited gene mutations.

Breast cancer is sometimes caused by inherited gene mutations (changes).

The cottony coat may be the result of a single gene mutation.

The original description of this gene mutation and associated symptoms were described in 1967.

Cancer involves a series of gene mutations or changes.

Most cases represent new (sporadic) gene mutations, with no family history of the disease.

A negative genetic test means that a breast cancer gene mutation was not identified.

The gene mutation is passed along through the generations, ensuring its preservation.
