Familial Breast Cancer: Disease Related Gene Mutations and Screening Strategies for Chinese Population

BackgroundAbout 5%–10% of the breast cancer cases have a hereditary background, and this subset is referred to as familial breast cancer (FBC). In this review, we summarize the susceptibility genes and genetic syndromes associated with FBC and discuss the FBC screening and high-risk patient consulti...
