Abstract

Women with hereditary breast cancer may have different levels of gene expression depending on whether they have the BRCA1 mutation or the BRCA2 mutation. In a study of 21 women with breast cancer, researchers found 176 genes that were expressed differently depending on whether the BRCA1 mutation was present of the BRCA2.
