Founder BRCA1/BRCA2/PALB2 pathogenic variants in French-Canadian breast cancer cases and controls
Abstract Inherited germline pathogenic variants are responsible for ~5% of breast cancer globally. Through rapid expansion and isolation since immigration in the early 17th century, French Canadians are a relatively genetically homogenous founder population and therefore represent a unique demograph...
