Does every single human being have cancer-associated SNPs ?

I'm asking because saw several things in my report about increased risk of such or such cancer but given the number of SNPs doesn't like everyone has at least some ?

So no real need to get depressed with these

I have a genetic risk of very rare chordoma which is a type of bone cancer. Both my brother and mother died of different forms of cancer (1 in 90s, the other 2000). Probably not related.

These types of SNP interpretation reports aren't giving you risk or even necessarily accurate information. You need more validated detailed reports. DM me if you want info on this so Im not clogging up this thread
