Expanding BRCA1/BRCA2 genomic diversity in the Caribbean: insights from the first national cohort in the Dominican Republic

2026-07-02

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> Background Despite the rapid expansion of hereditary cancer testing worldwide, Caribbean populations remain underrepresented in BRCA reference datasets, limiting accurate variant interpretation and equitable implementation of precision medicine. This study expands genomic representation in the Caribbean by characterizing the germline BRCA1/BRCA2 variant spectrum in the first national c...
