Justin Stebbing: Our study in Nature Communications has been highlighted by lots of news outlets focusing on age of first pregnancy as a major risk for breast cancer, and how we explain this via clonal patches in tissues.

Justin Stebbing recently shared on LinkedIn:

“Our study in Nature Communications has been highlighted by lots of news outlets focusing on age of first pregnancy as a major risk for breast cancer, and how we explain this via clonal patches in tissues. What was more interesting to me is we provide a reference genome for normal breast tissue, helping to explain what is normal and what isn’t. In some ways, it’s not very clear as many mutations were found in normal epithelial cells, and they accumulate these DNA changes with age.
