Gene study reveals hidden breast cancer risks in young women
NCT ID NCT04206891
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 421 women with lobular breast cancer to see how often they have changes in the CDH1 gene. The goal was to understand if these gene changes raise the risk for breast cancer, especially in women diagnosed at a young age or in both breasts. Researchers collected blood samples and analyzed the gene to find patterns that could help identify high-risk women.
