Estimating the lifetime risk associated with (i.e., the penetrance of) genetic abnormalities that predispose individuals to cancer is important for genetic counseling. (Penetrance may be estimated from the degree of familial aggregation of cancer, that is, the extent to which cancers cluster in ...
The use of case probands is, however, also subject to bias because all risk factors are over-represented in case patients. To draw attention to this problem, literature on the penetrance of breast cancer in BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers is reviewed.A theory is presented to show that the use ...
