Abstract
The article focuses on a population-based study analyzing actionable genotypes in 73 genes among Icelanders, revealing shorter survival among those with pathogenic variants in cancer-susceptibility genes. Topics include the notable disparity in survival among carriers of specific variants, such as Breast Cancer 2, a gene associated with an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancers when mutated, and the potential implications for preventive interventions based on genetic awareness.
