Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic germline mutations in BRCA1 predispose individuals to high-grade serous tubo-ovarian cancer (HGSTOC), which originates in the fallopian tube epithelium (FTE). Identified non-genetic risk factors are consistent with a potential role for repetitive exposure of FTE cells to follicular fluid during ovulation in the development of this disease. We previously showed that BRCA1 deficiency in non-malignant FTE...
