OBJECTIVE: About 5%-10% of breast cancer is due to inherited disease predisposition. Currently, mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes explain less than 25% of the familial clustering of breast cancer, and additional susceptibility genes are suspected. The BCCIP gene plays an important role in the regulation of gene transcription and cell proliferation and could be involved in the maintenance of genomic...
