## Abstract The majority of, but not all, women with mutations in the BRCAI gene will be affected with breast or ovarian cancer by the age of 70. To establish whether known risk factors modify susceptibility to cancer in these women, we have studied the reproductive histories of 333 North American
The identification of cancer susceptibility genes offers new avenues for selecting high-risk individuals as subjects for chemoprevention trials. Because carriers of predisposing mutations are at high risk, they are more likely to enroll and comply with chemoprevention trials, and meaningful results
