Investigation of monogenic causes of familial breast cancer: data from the BEACCON case-control study
Abstract Breast cancer (BC) has a significant heritable component but the genetic contribution remains unresolved in the majority of high-risk BC families. This study aims to investigate the monogenic causes underlying the familial aggregation of BC beyond BRCA1 and BRCA2, including the identificati...
