The CHEK2 kinase is a tumor suppressor whose activation in response to DNA double-strand breaks contributes to cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. The c.1100delC mutation is associated with familial breast cancer, and tumors from mutation carriers show reduced or absent CHEK2 protein expression. We have

## Abstract We used mathematical models to analyze the age‐incidence curve of breast carcinoma for individuals carrying a germline mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene locus. Although many genomic abnormalities have been identified in breast tumors, we found that a two‐stage model fit the data well.
