Abstract excerpt
A hereditary component of breast (BC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) has been described in approximately one-third of these tumor types. BC patients have an increased risk of developing CRC as a second primary tumor and vice versa. Germline genomic variants (NextSeq550, Illumina) were investigated in 24 unrelated BC and/or CRC patients and 7 relatives from 3 index patients. Fifty-six pathogenic or likely pathogenic...
