Abstract excerpt
BRCA1/2 mutation carriers are at an increased risk for developing breast and/or ovarian cancer. Yet, the genetic and environmental factors that govern the phenotypic expression of mutant BRCA1/2 alleles remain elusive. The CAG repeat within exon 1 of the androgen receptor (AR) gene is reportedly associated with breast cancer phenotype in BRCA1 mutation carriers. Two hundred and twenty seven BRCA1/2 mutation...
