Breast cancer among mothers and daughters will be genetic?

1. Single-gene genetic disease The disease is caused by a pair of genetic mutations in the disease, people with this gene will generally disease. That is the single-gene genetic disease, genetic factors played a decisive role, but environmental factors, basic does not work.

2. Polygenic disease genetic disease genetic information through the two pairs of genes that cause the above due to the cumulative effects of genetic diseases, their genetic effects of more land by environmental factors.

Compared with the single-gene genetic diseases, multi-gene genetic diseases not only by genetic factors, but genetic factors and environmental factors play a role.

3. Chromosomal disease disease is the result of abnormal chromosome number or structure caused by genetic diseases, such genetic diseases in general can be found after the birth of the body organs, structural abnormalities are often accompanied by mental and intellectual barriers, such as congenital stupidity type, female or male gonadal dysgenesis psychosis.

The three types of hereditary diseases

Between mothers and daughters can be a variety of diseases, genetic, research confirmed that “multi-genetic disease” can be prevented. A better understanding of these have a “mother and daughter legend” tendency of the disease will help us to stay away from diseases

Breast Cancer Family

Disease probability 7 ~ 8 times higher than the common people

Star Anita Mui’s death due to cervical cancer, her sister also died contracting this disease, and this confirms this malignant disease has obvious genetic predisposition, genetic factors, although it is not as good as breast cancer, colorectal cancer less obvious, whenever the family there are female members suffered from cervical cancer, it must be doubly careful. But also family history, once infected with human papilloma virus, is more apt to degenerate into cancer.

Heritability:

People who have a family history of breast cancer, she suffers from this type of cancer higher than normal risk of 4.7 ~ 7 times.

Induced Environment:

Directly induced by the environment or the condition is uncertain, but large amounts of data over the years confirmed that the incidence of cervical cancer and early marriage, early motherhood, multi-related infertility and chronic cervicitis.

Preventive measures:

1. Regular cervical cancer screening. Census data show that a large number of anti-cancer, 90% ~ 95% of early stage cervical cancer can be via a cervical smear test can be found. If you have a sex life, you should start checking each one times, if the results are normal, according to the appropriate doctor’s orders to extend the inspection interval.

2. Learn to observe the leucorrhea and vaginal bleeding and so forth. Leucorrhea increased, there is smell, abnormal vaginal bleeding are the early manifestations of cervical cancer, do not underestimate these signals.

3. Timely treatment of cervicitis, cervical erosion. Cervical erosion and cervical cancer have a certain relationship, but not necessarily causation. If you already have a family history, then you are more active than the others to treat cervicitis, put an end to development of malignant disease.

4. To develop good habits. Include keeping the vulva and vagina cleaning (especially after childbirth, menstruation and other special times), moderate sexual life, sexual partner is fixed to minimize the frequency of abortion and so on.

Cancer family

Disease probability 4.7 ~ 7 times higher than the common people

Breast cancer is a genetic disease characterized by a clear, if more than one person in a family with breast cancer, they should doubt whether hereditary breast cancer. The disease is due to an embryo-specific genetic mutations that occur. These embryos carrying mutations of the person, not necessarily develop symptoms during their lifetime, but they are easily stimulated by other factors, becoming breast cancer patients.

Heritability:

If you simply suffering from breast cancer, their offspring disease risk is 7 ~ 8 times of ordinary people, the incidence rate of 10%; if not only the risk of breast cancer, but also suffered from soft tissue sarcoma, their offspring’s chances of suffering from this disease in the over 50%.

Induced Environment:

People with a family history of hereditary breast cancer may be manifested in two forms: one for the mother’s risk of breast cancer, her daughter is also a good breast cancer, age of onset of small, often occur in amenorrhea before, mostly for bilateral nature; the other for the mother has not suffered from breast cancer, but in a family, at least two sisters with breast cancer, which mostly occurs in breast cancer after menopause, and often unilateral.

Preventive measures:

1. Breast self-examination. If 20 years of age, you should conduct a breast self-examination every month. Menstrual cramps after 9 ~ 11 days is the best time for breast examination. Since 80% ~ 90% of breast cancer can be found in the patient’s own, so if abnormal changes were found in the self-test should immediately seek medical examination for early diagnosis and treatment.

2. Regularly to professional institutions for breast examination.

3. Weight. If overweight, genetic predisposition of breast cancer more likely to have in your body, so do not just complain about her mother to bring you the risk of breast cancer, and he is to be done to actively prevent.

4. School-age marriage and childbearing. Studies have shown that older unmarried, late marriage, no education, etc. are all factors that trigger breast cancer.

5. Improve the living habits. Excessive tobacco and alcohol, stay up late, eat Western fast food, electrical appliances such as excessive radiation, any adverse health habits, should stay away from.

We no matter how powerful, are simply a family tree branches, so thick or thin, or the medical records of family history and ultimately, will always be. Because parents, grandparents handed down to us not only looks, personality, and perhaps disease. Fortunately, the “multi-genetic disease” has been defined medicine as “those who can be prevented.” A better understanding of these have a “mother and daughter legend” tendency of the disease, allowing us to be a family tree that lucky.
