## BACKGROUND. The age-specific proportion of breast and ovarian cancer in the general population that is likely to be due to a breadovarian cancer susceptibility gene(s) is estimated. In addition, the age-specific penetrance of ovarian cancer for women predicted to be carriers of a susceptibility
## Abstract Highβdose ionizing radiation exposure to the breast and rare autosomal dominant genes have been linked with increased breast cancer risk, but the role of lowβtoβmoderate doses from protracted radiation exposure in breast cancer risk and its potential modification by polymorphisms in DNA
## Abstract Exposure to ionizing radiation has been consistently associated with increased risk of female breast cancer. Although the majority of DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation is corrected by the baseβexcision repair pathway, certain types of multipleβbase damage can only be repaired thro
