Highly penetrant breast cancer susceptibility genes represent approximately 20-25% of the familial aggregation of breast cancer." "A significant proportion of this familial aggregation of breast cancer is thus yet to be explained by other breast cancer susceptibility genes. Given the high susceptibility conferred by the two major breast cancer predisposition genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2 and the implication of these genes in many key cellular processes, assessment of genes encoding BRCA1-interacting proteins as plausible breast cancer candidate...
