BRCA2 and breast carcinoma: BRCA2 gene mutation is the most commonly identified genetic mutation in men and it is also shown to increase the lifetime risk of breast cancer in men by about 5-10% compared to the minimal risk of 0.1% seen in the general population [9].The higher proportion seen in our patients may be due to the inclusion of all cancer types compared to only the breast and ovarian cancers seen in the other studies.
