While strides have been made in detecting breast cancer still 1 in 8 women will get the disease at least once in their lifetime. That’s according to United States Breast Cancer statistics.

It is the most common cancer in women and the most common cause of death from cancer among Hispanic women. Now researchers from University College London are developing a blood test to help predict the likelihood of a woman developing breast cancer.

The team was able to identify an epigenetic signature than can be detected in the blood of women who have an inherited genetic mutation, the BRCA 1 gene. This mutation is believed to cause at least 10% of breast cancers; the cause of the other 90% of cancers is unknown.
