Abstract excerpt
The proteins encoded by BRCA1 and ATM may be important in DNA repair and maintenance of genomic integrity. Women heterozygous for a mutation in BRCA1 have an increased incidence of breast cancer. Some evidence also suggests that female carriers of ATM mutations may be susceptible to breast cancer. However, mice carrying one mutant allele of Brca1 or ATM are not highly susceptible to breast cancer. We proposed...
