A family history of breast cancer is a significant risk factor, with 13 – 19% of breast cancer patients reporting a first-degree relative (mother, sister, or daughter) with the disease.35 Individuals with a first-degree relative diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 40 face a 14.1% increased risk of developing the disease within the next 10 years.36 This risk is further elevated in women carrying predisposing mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. Here, BRCA2 is linked to breast carcinoma.
