The Pathology of Familial Breast Cancer: Predictive Value of Immunohistochemical Markers Estrogen Receptor, Progesterone Receptor, HER-2, and p53 in Patients With Mutations in <i>BRCA1</i> and <i>BRCA2</i>

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The morphologic and molecular phenotype of breast cancers may help identify patients who are likely to carry germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2. This study evaluates the immunohistochemical profiles of tumors arising in patients with mutations in these genes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Samples of breast cancers obtained from the International Breast Cancer Linkage Consortium were characterized...
