Abstract excerpt

Hereditary breast cancer arising in carriers of mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes differs from sporadic breast cancer and from non-BRCA1/2 familial breast carcinomas. Most BRCA1 carcinomas have the basal-like phenotype and are high-grade, highly proliferating, estrogen receptor-negative and HER2-negative breast carcinomas, characterized by the expression of basal markers such as basal keratins, P-cadherin...
