Popis: Female carriers of BRCA1 mutations possess high breast cancer risk, which may reflect deficient growth control of mammary progenitor cells. Here, the authors study progenitor-enriched fractions from these carriers and describe a loss of PLK1-mediated mitotic spindle positioning and an inability of the progeny to acquire features of mature luminal cells.
