## Abstract We hypothesized that aberrant gene silencing by miRNA may affect mutant __BRCA__ penetrance. To test this notion, frequency of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; __n__ = 42) within predicted miRNA binding sites or miRNA precursors were determined and compared in 363 __BRCA1__ mutati
## Abstract Germline mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are associated with a significantly increased lifetime risk for developing breast and/or ovarian cancer. However, incomplete penetrance and substantial variability in age of disease onset among carriers of the same mutation suggests the in
