Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: BRCA1/2 germline mutations are the most well-known genetic determinants for breast cancer. However, the distribution of germline mutations in non-BRCA1/2 cancer susceptibility genes in Chinese breast cancer patients is unclear. The association between clinical characteristics and germline mutations remains to be explored. METHODS: Consecutive breast cancer patients from Peking University People's...
