Germline mutations in the BRCA1 tumor suppressor gene predispose affected individuals to breast cancer; however, incomplete cancer penetrance and the presence of phenocopies in BRCA1 families also indicate genetic and environmental modifiers of breast cancer risk. In this study, we have tested the single nucleotide polymorphism rs1655505 of the BRCA1 promoter, as candidate for the modifier of breast cancer risk....
