Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women worldwide. Patients carrying mutations in breast cancer susceptibility genes like BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) account for 5-10% of all breast cancer patients. Therefore, screening for susceptibility genes may reduce the incidence of breast cancer and improve prognosis. To provide evidence for mutation interpretation and targeted drug use in breast cancer...
