Angelina Jolie: BRCA1 Mutation (Increased Breast Cancer Risk)
Angelina Jolie needs no introduction; she’s constantly in the tabloids (most recently for her personal life than her work). In fact, you may have likely even heard about the genetic mutation she has, as it was quite a big story in the news. Jolie made headlines when she announced she would be getting her breasts removed to lower her chances of getting breast cancer. She made the decision after testing positive for a mutation in the BRCA1 gene. This mutation is inherited (Jolie’s own mother died of ovarian cancer at age 56). Having a mastectomy dropped her chance of getting breast cancer by over 80%. We definitely applaud her bravery and the fact that she helped to raise awareness about the issue.
Shortly after Jolie’s revelation, there was a rise in testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2. Kelly Osbourne revealed that she also had the BRCA1 gene, but did not undergo surgery as of yet (but plans to in the future). Her mother, Sharon, underwent a double mastectomy in 2012, when she learned she carried a gene for breast cancer.
