WHAT IS HEREDITARY CANCER? Hereditary cancer refers to cancer that has developed in someone who inherited a pathogenic germline mutation in a gene (like a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene). Germline mutations are present at conception and are found in every cell of the body. In some genes, this can result in an increased risk, or predisposition, to develop cancer. Usually, but not always, there may be a history of cancer in the family. And it may be a different kind of cancer for everyone affected.
