## 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
Previous mutational analysis for BRCA gene mutations in sporadic ovarian cancer occurring in Chinese patients in Hong Kong identified six germline BRCA1 mutations and one germline BRCA2 mutation, six of which were novel (Khoo et al., 2000). Knowledge of BRCA gene mutations in the Chinese population
## Abstract A systematic review of the literature was conducted to assess the outcomes of preventive interventions (prophylactic surgery, intensive cancer screening, and chemoprevention) in women who carry mutations in __BRCA__1/2 genes, in terms of reducing breast and gynaecological cancer inciden
