Humans carry one to two lethal recessive mutations on average, study estimates Posted on April 8, 2015 by Kevin Jiang Humans carry on average one to two mutations that, if inherited from both parents, can cause severe genetic disorders or death before reaching reproductive age, report scientists from the University of Chicago and Columbia University.
Researchers performed genetic testing on 1,824 women who had been diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. They found that almost 15 percent, or 267 women, carried one or more of the genetic mutations known to increase breast cancer risk. Most had a mutation in either BRCA1 or BRCA2; about 4 percentâ67 womenâcarried one of 15 lesser-known genetic mutations that also have been found to increase breast cancer risk.
