Description
Cancer, a genetic disease, involves the rapid and uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells, ranking among the top causes of global mortality. It begins with DNA mutations in normal cells, progressing through stages as genetic alterations accumulate, leading to the formation of tumors that can spread. Some cancers arise sporadically, while others have familial links, with 5-10% of cases having an inherited component. Detecting inherited variants helps estimate cancer risk, enabling appropriate preventive measures, improved clinical management, and timely monitoring for better outcomes.
