What is oncogenetics?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Oncogenetics is a branch of genetics that studies inherited and acquired mutations in genes that may influence the risk of developing malignant tumors. It is about inherited gene variants<\/strong>, which are passed down from parents, and about mutations that occur throughout life<\/strong> due to environmental influences, viruses, and unhealthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Thanks to oncogenetic studies, it is possible to assess individual susceptibility to cancer<\/strong>, timely detect critical changes at the molecular level and develop a personalized prevention and treatment strategy.<\/p>\n

What genes are associated with oncology?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The most well-known are genes BRCA1<\/strong> \u0456 BRCA2<\/strong><\/a>, mutations in which increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. But there are other important genes:<\/p>\n
