5 Gene Variants Linked to Ovarian Cancer

Monday, 20 Sep 2010

The International Consortium of Scientists have identified 5 gene variants that are linked to ovarian cancer.

The scientist researched more than the genes of more than 10,000 women with ovarian cancer to find a link. They also researched the genes of more than 13,000 women who do not have the cancer.

The conclusion was 5 gene variants that are now linked to ovarian cancer.

Understanding these variants is a key step in identifying those who may be at risk for ovarian cancer prior to them becoming sick.

Hopefully, this will lead to further treatment and prevention of ovarian cancer in the future.
