BRCA1 is an estrogen-inducable cell cycle-associated protein with antiproliferation and tumor suppressor function. Less is known about BRCA2 protein 1 Department of Pathology, St. Luke's Hospital, but it has some similarities to BRCA1. Release of cells from BRCA1 control through Chesterfield, Missouri. germline mutations gives rise to genetically evolved breast carcinomas with a highly distinctive and correspondent proliferator phenotype featuring aneuploidy, 2 Department of Pathology, Vanderbilt

## BACKGROUND. The purpose of this investigation was to elucidate the clinicopathologic characteristics of BRCA1-and BRCA2-associated hereditary breast carcinomas (HBCs) in Japanese women.
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND BRCA1 and BRCA2 alterations are associated with an increased risk of developing breast carcinoma. The authors hypothesized that the progression of breast neoplasia may differ between patients with hereditary disease and patients with nonhereditary disease and that this di
Ethnic differences in cancer incidence and mortality result from differences in genetic and epidemiologic risk factors. Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for a small proportion of all breast cancer cases, but for a much higher proportion of cases with a strong family history of breast or ovarian
## BACKGROUND. The expression of steroid receptors is a common feature of both male and female breast carcinomas and is also one of the most important prognostic factors for patients with this disease. Steroid receptor levels in BRCA1related breast carcinoma have reportedly been low. Little data o
