BRCA2: a genetic risk factor for breast cancer.

Cancer letters - 10 Jan 2002

Schwab Manfred, Claas Andreas, Savelyeva Larissa

Abstract excerpt

The identification of the breast cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 a few years ago has been greeted with great excitement and has raised hopes that they might illuminate the common mechanisms of this disease. Today we have to recognize that these expectations remain unfulfilled. Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 account only for a relatively small proportion of breast cancers, even within the group of...
