I jeszcze jeden:
"A small number of cancers are hereditary. This means they are related to a specific gene that is passed down in a family.
People who inherit specific gene mutations have a higher risk of developing certain forms of cancer as compared to the general population.
Inherited gene mutations help to explain why in some families we see more people than expected with certain kinds of cancer. These mutations are rare however and account for only a very small proportion (5-10%) of all cancers."
Myślę że wystarczy.
Może ja powinienem zostać profesorem??
Może jednak mój doktorat z biochemii wystarczy :)
Specific gene mutations may be passed down in a family from parent to child. Each child has a 50-50 chance of inheriting the gene mutation.
Inheriting the gene mutation does not mean the child inherits cancer. It means that the child inherits a higher risk of developing cancer sometime during his or her life.
