Moreover, the low frequency of BRCA2 LR could be explicable by the lower frequency of Alu sequences in the genomic locus of BRCA2 in comparison to BRCA1. Screening for BRCA2 large constitutive rearrangements should be recommended in comprehensive genetic tests, especially for families with multiple breast and/or ovarian cancer cases and families with at least one case of male breast cancer. This evidence concerns the gene BRCA2 and male breast carcinoma.
