We found significant upregulation of ERCC6 (p = 7.95 × 10–6) and ERCC8 (p = 4.67 × 10–6) in breast cancer and similar frequencies of ERCC6 (1.8%) and ERCC8 (0.3%) mutations in breast tumors to known breast cancer susceptibility genes such as BLM (1.9%) and LSP1 (0.3%). Here, LSP1 is linked to breast neoplasm.
