💊 Estonia to call all women aged 40 for breast cancer risk analysis screening

Estonia is set to become the first country in the world where people are invited to screening programs based on genetic data. Next week, all 40-year-old women will receive an invitation for genetic testing to determine their individual breast cancer risk, regardless of whether or not they have health insurance.

Around 3,000 genetic variants are taken into account when calculating the risk. However, the study does not include BRCA gene mutations, which led actress Angelina Jolie to decide to have her breasts removed 13 years ago to prevent developing the disease.

"These are hereditary forms of cancer, which are assessed through separate tests as needed if there has been breast cancer in the family," — Steven Smit, head of the biobank laboratory at the Estonian Genome Center, said.

There are almost 10,000 40-year-old women in Estonia, and invitations will be sent both to those who have already donated their genes to the Estonian Genome Center and to those who have not.
