Complex Landscape of Germline Variants in Brazilian Patients With Hereditary and Early Onset Breast Cancer
7 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic variants in known breast cancer (BC) predisposing genes explain only about 30% of Hereditary Breast Cancer (HBC) cases, whereas the underlying genetic factors for most families remain unknown. Here, we used whole-exome sequencing (WES) to identify genetic variants associated to HBC in 17 patients of Brazil with familial BC and negative for causal variants in major BC risk genes (BRCA1/2, TP53 and CHEK2...
