High prevalence of somatic <i>PIK3CA</i> and <i>TP53</i> pathogenic variants in the normal mammary gland tissue of sporadic breast cancer patients revealed by duplex sequencing
2021-09-27
Abstract excerpt
The mammary gland undergoes hormonally stimulated cycles of proliferation, lactation and involution. We hypothesized that these factors increase the mutational burden in glandular tissue and may explain high cancer incidence rate in the general population and recurrent disease. Hence, we investigated the DNA sequence variants in the normal mammary gland, tumor and peripheral blood from 52 reportedly sporadic breas...
