Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the recognized breast cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53, ATM, and CHEK2 account for approximately 20% of hereditary breast cancer. This raises the possibility that mutations in other biologically relevant genes may be involved in genetic predisposition to breast cancer. In this study, BRIP1, PALB2, and RAD51C were sequenced for mutations as a result of previously being associated with...
