Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among Western women, with up to 10% of cases attributed to genetic variants. Despite this, the roots of many familial cases remain unexplored, largely due to the complex nature of the genetic factors involved. Addressing this critical gap, a recent study led by Prof. Dina Schneidman-Duhovny from the Rachel and Selim Benin School of Computer Science and Engineering at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has provided new insights into the genetic underpinnings of familial breast cancer, especially prevalent in families of Middle Eastern descent.
The study utilizes an innovative analysis method tailored for examining genetic variations in families with a history of breast cancer. This method combines cutting-edge machine learning with detailed analysis...
