A member asked:
Is breast cancer autosomal dominant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well...: ...most breast cancers (80-90%) are not related to inherited traits so in those cases your question does not apply. However, the majority of high risk genes that cause breast and other cancers (like BRCA) are indeed transmitted as autosomal dominant traits.
