What is Non-BRCA Genes in Breast Cancer Risk about?

This review focuses on genes other than BRCA1 and BRCA2 that may increase susceptibility to breast cancer. Each of these additional genes is expected to confer a small increase in lifetime breast cancer risk of 1-2 times compared to high penetrance genes like BRCA1/2. While mutations in low penetrance genes are likely present in a large number of people, their combined effect with environmental exposures may significantly contribute to population breast cancer risk. The goal is to identify polymorphisms in
