A genetic epidemiologic investigation of breast cancer involving 389 breast cancer pedigrees including information on 14,721 individuals from the Icelandic population-based cancer registry is presented. Probands were women born in or after 1920 and reported to have breast cancer in the cancer regist
An investigation of the genetic epidemiology of breast cancer involving complex segregation analysis of 200 breast cancer pedigrees of Danish extraction is presented. The observed distribution of breast cancer is compatible with transmission of an autosomai-dominant gene with no evidence for residua
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
