Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer (BC) risks imparted by CHEK2 c.1100delC ("1100delC") germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant (GPV) are 20-30%, compared to CHEK2 c.470T>C ("I157T") GPV with <20%, leading to different breast screening recommendations through MRI. We compared cancer risk management (CRM) across these two GPVs. Study participants were adult females with an 1100delC or I157T GPV drawn from the Inherited Cancer...
