Genetic tests that predict breast cancer and ovarian cancer

There are many questions arising from the minds of people as to why this cancer causes and what are the actual reasons for causing cancer to a person. The doctors have the reasons but if we predict it the other way then it turns to "No".

Some say that the causes are many. Like:
a. Irregular eating habits 
b. Irregular sleep
c. No exercises
d. Hereditary.
e. Smoking and alcohol.

There are many causes if we list them down. One of the main points that come in our minds is about the "hereditary" factor. Is cancer hereditary? Yes, it is.

Scientists and researchers are continuously after the research about the hereditary factors that can cause breast cancer or any type of cancer. Take for instance, breast cancer. It is also hereditary. There are mainly 2 genes that cause the breast cancer. One is BRCA1 and other is BRCA2. These are the 2 genes that are responsible for the causing of breast cancer if it is hereditary.

In the latest editions, the mutations in PPM1D gene is linked to risk in breast cancer and also ovarian cancer.

Now what is this PPM1D gene? It is an enzyme found in humans encoded as PPM1D gene. Its full form is Protein Phosphatase 1D. 

PPM1D gene , unlike BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, is not inherited. It is shown in the blood only when the breast cancer or ovarian cancer tumor is present .

If the blood test is done, the PPM1D mutation shows the breast cancer / ovarian cancer presence.
