BRCA1 and breast carcinoma: Key findings include: (1) there was the absence of arch fingerprint pattern on the right ring finger of breast cancer participants; (2) six or more loops had higher frequency among females with breast cancer compared to apparently healthy females; (3) c.34311, c.34320 and c.34321 are the predominant BRCA1 gene variant locations in the study population with c.34311A>C being the predominant variant; and (4) a higher percentage frequency of six or more loops in relation to c.34311A>C was observed in apparently healthy females compared to breast cancer females.
