BRCA1 Variants and Associations With Breast Cancer
Description
Breast cancer is a disease identified by the uncontrolled multiplication of mutated cells within breast tissues. As these cells accumulate, they can form a tumor which has the potential to metastasize to other organs and tissues within the body. While breast cancer primarily affects middle-aged women, it also can occur in men, though with a distinctly lower incidence ratio. In the United States, 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer (American Cancer Society).The purpose of this study is to determine the pathogenicity of BRCA1 mutations in relation to Breast Cancer.
