Question

When evaluating a family health tree, a family member who has a heart attack at age 70 raises more genetic concerns than a relative who develops colon cancer at age 28. True or false?

Answer 1

Answer: False.

Explanation:

If a person has a family history of colon cancer, his or her risk of developing the disease is nearly double. The risk further increases if other close relatives have also developed colon cancer or if a first-degree relative was diagnosed at a younger age like 28years old.

A person who develop colon cancer at 28years of age raises more genetic concern.
