Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies among women. The molecular mechanisms involved in breast carcinogenesis, however, remain to be elucidated. Although somatic mutation of BRCA1 is rare, BRCA1 protein expression is reduced in about 30% of sporadic breast carcinomas (Yoshikawa et al.
## Communicated by Haig H. Kazazian Germline mutations in the human breast cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for the majority of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. In spite of the large number of sequence variants identified in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation analyses, many of these
## Abstract The breast cancer susceptibility genes __BRCA1__ and __BRCA2__ are responsible for a large proportion of familial breast and ovarian cancer, yet little is known of how disruptions in the functions of the proteins these genes encode increased cancer risk preferentially in hormoneβdepende
