A new case of "de novo" BRCA1 mutation in a patient with early-onset breast cancer

Ivana Antonucci et al. Clin Case Rep. .

Abstract

Most of the de novo BRCA1/2 mutations have been identified in patients with early-onset breast cancer and without family history of the disease. The identification of these alterations could play a prominent role in the prevention and treatment strategies and may influence clinical management of patients.

Keywords: BRCA2 gene; breast cancer; de novo mutation; early onset.
