Abstract excerpt
The role of the familial breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, in the homologous recombination pathway for DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair suggests that the mechanisms involved in DNA DSB repair are of particular etiological importance during breast tumorigenesis. However, there is currently no evidence for an association between breast cancer and the other DSB repair pathway, the...
