What Is the Risk for Ovarian Cancer Among Women with Mutations in Newer Ovarian Cancer Genes?
The most common form of inherited ovarian cancer is due to mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which are present in 10-15% of women with ovarian cancer and lead to an ovarian cancer risk of up to 44% and 27%, respectively. Another set of genes known to raise ovarian cancer risks are the mismatch …
