SNAI2 and breast cancer: While Wu et al. found an inverse correlation between Wnt signaling and BRCA1 expression in basal-like breast cancer due to epigenetic repression of BRCA1 by the Wnt effector Slug [50], Li et al. reported that the nuclear form of β-catenin was lower or absent in most BRCA1 familial breast cancer tissues compared to sporadic breast cancer or healthy tissue [51].
