Inherited genetic predisposition in breast cancer. A population-based perspective.

Abstract excerpt

Two classes of inherited susceptibility genes may be considered in the etiology of breast and other common cancers. First, genes have been identified that confer a high degree of breast cancer (BC) risk, usually associated with hereditary syndromes, but disease-associated germline variants in these genes are relatively rare in the general population. These include BRCA1, BRCA2, and TP53. The proportion of BC in...
