BRCA-related breast cancer appears at an earlier age than sporadic breast cancer. [9]: 89–111 It has been asserted that BRCA-related breast cancer is more aggressive than normal breast cancer, however most studies in specific populations suggest little or no difference in survival rates despite seemingly worse prognostic factors.
The researchers studied women of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry in New York, a group that was known to have a very high incidence of breast cancer (up to an 80% risk by age 70, compared with 12% in the general population). [32] [33] She has also studied the incidence of breast cancer in Palestinian women. [34]

Studies to identify genetic mutations linked with breast cancer have previously mainly focused on women of European ancestry. The new findings are drawn from more than 40,000 women of African ...
The central role of DNA damage and epigenetic defects in DNA repair genes in carcinogenesis. DNA damage is considered to be the primary cause of cancer. [17] More than 60,000 new naturally-occurring instances of DNA damage arise, on average, per human cell, per day, due to endogenous cellular processes (see article DNA damage (naturally occurring)).
The mutations occurred in these genes' hot spots, i.e. areas of a genes' DNA that are likely to mutate. Two of the 3 individuals with family histories of breast cancer had PIK3C gene mutation and one individual with a family history of breast cancer had an AKT1 gene mutation. [3]
