- revelation 12y agoOnly 5–10% of all cancers are due to an inherited gene defect. Various cancers that have been linked to genetic defects are shown in Fig. 2. Although all cancers are a result of multiple mutations (9, 10), these mutations are due to interaction with the environment (11, 12). That 5% figure is much less interesting when you realize they mean _inherited_ genetic defects.
