Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) are two major high-penetrance breast cancer predisposition genes, mutations in which can lead to high risks and early onset of breast cancer. This study was performed to comprehensively investigate the spectrum and prevalence of BRCA1/2 mutations in unselected Chinese breast cancer patients and evaluate the associations of BRCA1/2 mutations with related clinicopathological...
