One of the factors pointed as causing breast cancer is the aspect of the genetic variation of an individual. This is a study that was based on a study of the family tree of most breast cancer victims. From the findings, it was noted that 15% to almost 20% of the breast cancer cases could be attributed to genetic disorders. In the study the genetic cause of cancer was linked to a specific gene known as p53. It is the gene responsible in the contraction and causing of cancer in women. For women possessing this gene, the chances or risk factor of contracting and developing breast cancer increases by almost 16 times than those who do not possess it. In other cases individuals whose breast and glands produce wax, there is a higher percentage of contracting and developing breast cancer. This helps one in knowing whether the genetic makeup on an individual can lead to breast cancer or
