Mutations in context: implications of BRCA testing in diverse populations.

Familial cancer - 1 Oct 2018

Felix Gabriela E S, Zheng Yonglan, Olopade Olufunmilayo I

Abstract excerpt

Cancer is a common non-communicable disease worldwide, although it exhibits differential population trends in incidence and mortality rates. The differences relate to population structure, environmental risk factors as well as health system organization. This article discusses the potential impact of genetic testing on population health, focusing in particular on the mutational spectrum of breast cancer...
