摘要: Disparities in incidence, mortality, and age of onset breast cancer between women African ancestry other racial/ethnic backgrounds are poorly understood. A more comprehensive elaboration genetic variants that occur may facilitate a better understanding the disease American explain role admixture on variation expression disease. Large-scale, population-based databases document burden Africa lacking because financial infrastructural limitations. The development such programs would represent an important control research strategy.
