摘要: PALB2 interacts with BRCA2, and biallelic mutations in (also known as FANCN), similar to BRCA2 mutations, cause Fanconi anemia. We identified monoallelic truncating 10/923 individuals familial breast cancer compared 0/1,084 controls (P = 0.0004) show that such confer a 2.3-fold higher risk of (95% confidence interval (c.i.) 1.4–3.9, P 0.0025). The results is susceptibility gene further demonstrate the close relationship anemia–DNA repair pathway predisposition.
