If the gene found to cause cancer is present, she has a high perecentage risk, about 40% I believe.

Breast caner is genetic. So the risk for the other twin is high. She needs to make sure she does her self breast check and if a lump if found to question it. It may be nothing but it is better to be safe than sorry. She will also need to get a mammogram earlier than most. Good luck
