Scientists from Australian Melbourne found another marker of genetic origin, which will help women find out the propensity for breast cancer.

Experts from Australia studied the health of several thousand couples for twenty years. The latest method of massive parallel sequencing allowed to track large parts of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in a small amount of time.

As a result of this technology, specialists were able to detect new mutational changes that occurred in the XRCC2 gene.

Scientists decided that mutational changes in this gene could be the cause of breast cancer in women who did not have a genetic predisposition to this.. Using a new technique in the future, specialists plan to monitor the XRCC2 gene in a very short time..

Researchers from Australia also hope to use parallel sequencing technology to detect other cancers of genetic origin.
