Topic Reading-Vol.414-5/30/2013

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Angelina Jolie’s aunt dies of breast cancer days after op-ed.
Had they known the chance of getting cancer being so high a little earlier, they would surely have chosen the same way as Angelina did.
The same defective BRCA1 gene as Jolie has taken not only her mother but also her aunt life away. So, as in Topic Reading Vol. 401 posted on May 17th, her decision to undergo the complicated surgery to remove both her breasts now seems much more sense.
One thing for sure is that the decision she made was a very difficult one.
Enjoy reading and learning about how gene analysis works these day.
