Inherited genetic susceptibility to breast cancer.

IARC scientific publications - 1 Jan 2001

Chang-Claude J

Abstract excerpt

Inherited genetic susceptibility to breast cancer can be due both to genes which confer a high degree of risk and to polygenes which have a smaller effect on disease risk. An estimated 5-10% of breast cancer is considered to be due to mutations in genes conferring high risk which results in hereditary patterns of disease. Two major breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, which were identified using...
