A Systematic Review of the Prevalence of Germline BRCA mutations in North Asia Breast Cancer Patients
Journal: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention
Year: 2024

This is the first systematic review that provides the spectrum of BRCA mutations in ethnic groups of breast cancer patients inhabiting Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. It has been shown that the mutations are ethnospecific (varied widely within groups) and not all groups are equally well studied. Further studies on the ethnic specificity of BRCA gene mutations are required.
