THE GENETICS OF BREAST CANCER SUSCEPTIBILITY

Rahman, Nazneen, Stratton, Michael R.·1998·Annual Review of Genetics

Abstract

▪ Abstract Following the genomic localization and subsequent identification of the breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, the basic patterns of cancer risk associated with mutations in these genes have been defined. In addition, preliminary insights into the prevalence of mutations and their contributions to cancer incidence have been acquired. Features of breast and other cancers that develop in these genetic syndromes have now been investigated and shown to differ from sporadic versions of the same neoplasms. However, several areas are complex and require further clarification. There remain discrepancies between published cancer risk estimates. Furthermore, there may be variation in cancer risk between different mutations in the same gene and there is preliminary evidence that genetic and nongenetic influences may modify risks. Finally, it is probable that the genes underlying a substantial component of susceptibility to breast cancer remain to be identified.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
