Army Reverses Decision on Teen Rejected for Breast-Cancer Gene

The British Army reversed its decision to reject 17-year-old Carys Holmes, who was initially turned down due to a family history of breast cancer. Despite passing all selection tests, Carys was rejected over concerns about the BRCA1 gene, which she has not been tested for. Following legal and public scrutiny, the Army admitted a mistake and confirmed there is no policy of discrimination, allowing Carys to start her training in October.
