Abstract excerpt
BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline mutations account for the majority of hereditary ovarian cancers and comprise 10% of total cases. Ovarian cancers arising from these mutations exhibit both overlapping and distinct clinical and molecular features. The expression profiles of sporadic ovarian cancers show similarities to those of BRCA1 and BRCA2-related tumors suggesting that BRCA-related pathways may be involved in their...
