• Researchers analyzed genetic data to identify new genes linked to breast cancer. 
• They found several new genes that may be linked to the condition. 
• Further research is needed to know how variants on these genes affect breast cancer risk. 

Breast cancer is the most common cancer globally, accounting for around 12.5% of new cancer cases worldwide. Genetic testing can be used to assess risk for the condition. Current tests consider risk variants on a small number of genes, including BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2.
