Breast Cancer: Genetic Risk Assessment, Diagnostics, and Therapeutics in African Populations.

Annual review of genomics and human genetics - 1 Aug 2025

Manirakiza Achille V C, Mutesa Leon, Mathew Christopher G, Olopade Olufunmilayo I

Abstract excerpt

Breast cancer is a major public health burden that disproportionately affects women of African descent. Substantial progress has been made in understanding the genetic and biological drivers of breast cancer worldwide. However, this knowledge is unevenly distributed among all women with breast cancer, particularly those of African descent. The highlights of nearly three decades of research among women of African...
