Epigenetic silencing and deletion of the BRCA1 gene in sporadic breast cancer

INTRODUCTION: BRCA1 or BRCA2 germline mutations increase the risk of developing breast cancer. Tumour cells from germline mutation carriers have frequently lost the wild-type allele. This is predicted to result in genomic instability where cell survival depends upon dysfunctional checkpoint mechanis...
