## Abstract There is conflicting evidence as to whether individuals who are heterozygous for germβline __BRCA1__ or __BRCA2__ mutations have an altered phenotypic cellular response to irradiation. To investigate this, chromosome breakage and apoptotic response were measured after irradiation in per

## Abstract Early age at first birth and multiparity have been associated with a decrease in the risk of breast cancer in women in the general population. We examined whether this relationship is also present in women at high risk of breast cancer due to the presence of a mutation in either of the
## Abstract Marked variation in phenotypic expression among __BRCA1__ and __BRCA2__ mutation carriers may be partly explained by modifier genes that influence mutation penetrance. Variation in CAG/CAA repeat lengths coding for stretches of glutamines in the Cβterminus of the AIB1 protein (amplified
Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 are associated with increased risks of breast and ovarian cancer. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified six alleles associated with risk of ovarian cancer for women in the general population. We evaluated four of these loci as potential modifiers of
