Abstract excerpt
Germline variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) genes are the most common cause of hereditary breast cancer. However, a significant number of cases are not linked to these two genes and additional high-, moderate- and low-penetrance genes have been identified in breast cancer. The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) allowed simultaneous sequencing of multiple cancer-susceptibility genes and prompted...
