A 31 year old woman consults her physicain because she is concerned about developing breast cancer. She is currently in good health and she has never had any breast disease. Her concern arises bacause her sister has just been diagnosed as having breast cancer and her mother died of breast cancer.

  • How can one determine if the cancer in this family is likely to be a dominantly inherited predisposition?
  • What is the woman’s cahnce of developing breast cancer?

Assume that two individuals with the same mutation in the BRCA1 gene, two of them are heterozygous and the effect of the mutation is dominant. Heterozygous mutations in the BRCA1 gene have been associated with breast cancer development. However one of the individual developped breast cancer but the othe inidividual survided very healthy life untill she died. How would you explain this situation that expected phenotype is not observed from the given genotype?
