Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Morphologic and immunohistochemical studies of familial breast cancers have identified specific characteristics associated with BRCA1 mutation-associated tumors when compared with BRCA2 and non-BRCA1/2 tumors, but have not identified differences between BRCA2 and non-BRCA1/2 tumors. Because BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes participate in the DNA repair pathway, we have performed an immunohistochemical study with...
