Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Carriers of BRCA1/2 mutations are at high lifetime risk of breast cancer (BC); however, the BC onset broadly vary in individual patients. Recently, polyglutamine (poly-Q) repeat length polymorphism of the amplified in breast cancer 1 (AIB1) gene was analyzed as a risk factor influencing BC onset in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers with contradictory results. METHODS: We genotyped AIB1 poly-Q repeat in 243...
