Breast cancer in the GCC countries: A focus on BRCA1/2 and non-BRCA1/2 genes.

Gene - 20 Aug 2018

Rahman Sumaya, Zayed Hatem

Abstract excerpt

The GCC is an economic alliance of six Arab countries, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates (UAE). The rate of endogamous marriage among the GCC countries is approaching 100%, with very high consanguineous marriage rates. Although breast cancer is on the rise in the GCC countries, there are dearth of studies reporting on the genetic epidemiology of breast cancer. In this...
