Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has a high proportion of premenopausal hormone receptor negative breast cancer. Previous studies reported a strikingly high prevalence of germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 among Nigerian patients with breast cancer. It is unknown if this exists in other SSA countries. METHODS: Breast cancer cases, unselected for age at diagnosis and family history, were recruited from...
