About 1 in 50 people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent carries a harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. That’s roughly eight times the rate in the general population.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re looking at why BRCA mutations are more common in Ashkenazi Jewish families, and how ICRF-funded scientists in Israel are working to turn genetic risk into earlier detection, better prevention, and more personal care.

New publication alert! ICRF-funded scientist Prof. Ido Amit and his team at the Weizmann Institute have just published new findings in Nature Genetics.

This discovery brings us closer to more personalized, effective treatments and offers new hope for overcoming treatment resistance. We’re proud to support research that’s paving the way for better outcomes for patients everywhere.

Only 5–10% of breast cancers are hereditary.

That means most women diagnosed have little to no family history of the disease, which is exactly why Dr. Julie Lang says screening matters for every woman over 40.

Dr. Lang is a breast cancer surgeon, researcher, and member of ICRF's Scientific Review Panel. In her lab and clinic, she's helping uncover how blood tests can detect signs of recurrence before they appear on scans, and how the environment around aggressive tumors helps them evade the immune system.

As she puts it, "My goal is to combine scientific curiosity with compassion. I want to offer patients the best treatment available today while also working to develop better treatments for tomorrow."
