Abstract excerpt

The spectrum of mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 among African Americans has not been well characterized because most studies to date have been done in Caucasian families. According to Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc., only approximately 3% of individuals undergoing BRCA1/BRCA2 testing reported African American ancestry. Data from previous studies show that among African American women a greater proportion of breast...
