Identification of the prevalent BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in the female population of Puerto Rico.

Cancer genetics - 1 May 2012

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the breast cancer 1, early onset (BRCA1) and breast cancer 2 (BRCA2) genes are responsible for the majority of hereditary breast cancers. Knowledge of the incidence and prevalence of BRCA mutations in a specific population or ethnic group is necessary to provide accurate genetic counseling for breast cancer patients and their families; however, these data have not been gathered in the population of...
