BRCA2 and breast cancer: This study, conducted with only female carriers, confirmed that the BRCA1-associated BC pathological features in this population are typical [triple (estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) negative, high grade, and poorly differentiated in the majority of cases], and that BRCA2-induced BC features reflect those of the general BC population more (Mavaddat et al., 2012).
