Ovarian cancer may have genetic trigger By DANIEL Q. HANEY AP Science Writer A surprisingly high WASHINGTON share of ovarian cancers perhaps one in five be caused to by genetic mutations appears that are passed through the generations, researchers report. But these flawed genes don't always cause ovarian cancer. They may trigger the disease in one woman while sparing both her mother and grandmother, even though all of them had the same mutant gene in all their cells. For this reason, scientists are having great difficulty sorting out just which cases are inherited and which arise from other causes. Until recently, experts estimated that 5 percent to 10 percent of ovarian cancers were passed to daughters through genes inherited from their mothers or fathers. However. Dr. Donald M. Black of the Beat-so- n Institute for Cancer Research in Glasgow. Scotland, said Monday that new evidence is forcing them to think again about this. "Genetic susceptibility may be responsible for a far higher frequency of ovarian cancer than we have ever believed to be the case," Black said. Ovanan cancer is the most frequent malignanof the female reproductive organs. It will strike an estimated 26,700 American women this year. Two new ly discovered genes both of w hich also trigger breast cancer appear to be respon- sible for a large share of inherited ovarian cancer. The first of these to be discovered. BRCA1. is thought to be responsible for about 6 percent of all ovarian cancer. Now a companion gene. BRCA2. discovered just lat December. ha been found to be responsible for about th? same proportion. cy ar rs 227-20- two-thir- ds Christian Coalition posts reward for church fire info By DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Democrats are pressuring Republican presidential nominee Bob Dote to schedule a Senate vote on raising the minimum wage and President Clinton's labor secretary is "cautiously optimistic" an increase is in the offing.
