They screened the embryo genetically to see if she had a BRCA1 gene, where there is 50-50 chance to having breast cancer. She does not have the gene.

That goes to say that the embryo was a "test tube" situation. And the screen is usually used to determine the sex of the baby. Saying this is routine.

They think she won't get breast cancer, let's hope not. But it can be unlikely she would NEVER get any cancer in her lifetime. The thing is that the risk factor for cancer is AGE... So, she may not see it until she is elderly.
