More than 80 genetic markers that can increase the risk of developing breast, prostate or ovarian cancer have been found in the largest study of its kind.

The DNA of 200,000 people - half of them with cancer and half without - was compared, revealing an individual's inherited risk of the diseases.

British scientists, who led the research, believe it could lead to a DNA screening test within five years.

We are just about there.


Do you take the test, when it becomes available?

Do you give it to your kids?

What do you do with the information?

GATTICA here we come.

My answers:
Yes, yes, yes, and prevent as much cancer as possible.

solid stuff, and that's another reason why government should make after-birth DNA test mandatory tbh. DNA test will not only save a baby's life but also lower the risk of its dad living as a cuckold for the rest of his life. men should be aware that his bitch ain't someone whom he can trust, a man should only trust scientific evidence tbh
