Abstract excerpt
Carriers of germline BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants (gBRCA1/2 PVs) have elevated young-onset breast cancer risk. To define the pretreatment genomic landscapes of young-onset gBRCA-associated breast cancer, we evaluated 136 treatment-naive tumors diagnosed before age 50 in the prospective POSH study and 66 noncarriers from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Using whole-exome sequencing, we analyzed somatic variation,...
