Ten modifiers of BRCA1 penetrance validated in a Norwegian series.
Species studied:
Human
Abstract:
Common genetic variants have been shown to modify BRCA1 penetrance. The aim of this study was to validate these reports in a special cohort of Norwegian BRCA1 mutation carriers that were selected for their extreme age of onset of disease.
