Popis: Association between variants in 11 different genes and breast cancer risk has been established and sequencing of these genes is recommended to provide personalized diagnosis, therapy, and surveillance for the high-risk patients and their relatives. Here the authors analyse the frequency of germline pathogenic mutations in these genes specifically in a Japanese population.
