Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in Asia: genetic epidemiology of BRCA1 and BRCA2.

Human mutation - 1 Dec 2002

Liede Alexander, Narod Steven A

Abstract excerpt

Ethnic differences in cancer incidence and mortality result from differences in genetic and epidemiologic risk factors. Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for a small proportion of all breast cancer cases, but for a much higher proportion of cases with a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer. Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 have been identified in individuals of many races and ethnic groups...
