Will i have the same size breasts as my mother and aunts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Breast size is influenced by body type, fatty deposition, and genetics. However, breast cancer can be carried on the same gene as colon and ovarian and can be geneticaly transmitted from mother's and aunt's.
