Abstract I Abstract Breast cancer is the most common lethal malignancy of women all over the world. Mutations in known breast cancer susceptibility genes including BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations can confer a high life-time risk for breast cancer up to 85%, whereas CHEK2, ATM and NBN mutations are proposed to be associated with a lower penetrance. The products of these genes are involved in DNA double-strand break signaling and repair, and considerable efforts have been made during the past years to identify the mutational spectra of these genes in familial and sporadic breast cancer.
