The breast cancer susceptibility gene, BRCA2 on chromosome 13q12-13, was recently isolated. Mutations in BRCA2 are thought to account for as much as 35% of all inherited breast cancer as wall as a proportion of inherited ovarian cancer. Many BRCA2-linked families also contain cases of male...

"These data will help to optimize medical care in male BRCA1 and BRCA2 PV carriers," Dr. Ottini said. "In particular, screening and surveillance programs in men with BRCA1 and BRCA2 PVs should be tailored in light of these gene-specific cancer phenotype differences." "Overall," she conclu...

While risks to male carriers ofBRCA1/2PVs are less characterized, there is convincing evidence of increased risk for prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and breast cancer in males. ...
