At the age of 43, Hetlin Villak-Niinepuu, who was diagnosed with breast cancer, shared her difficult struggle against the disease in the Kanal 2 show Täistund, and introduced a genetic-based breast cancer risk assessment coming to Estonia, which helps identify women at genetic risk. #rinnavähk #geenitest #meditsiin (translated)
The interest of Estonians in researching their ancestry has increased, but Kristiina Tambets, a professor at the University of Tartu, warns that the results of genetic tests should not be overinterpreted. #geenitestid #pärimus #Eestiajalugu (translated)
Uuring Tartu Ülikooli Kliinikumi ja teiste Eesti haiglate seas näitas, et 19,7% päriliku rinna- ja munasarjavähi patsientide tervetest sugulastest kannab vähiriski kergitavaid geenivariante, mis rõhutab vajadust laiemate geenitestide ja varajaste sõeluuringute järele, et tuvastada riske isegi vanemas eas ja meessoost sugulastel. #geenitest #mutatsioonid #vähirisk
