Title: BURDEN OF BRCA1, BRCA 2, AND PABL2 GENE MUTATIONS IN CARIBBEAN WOMEN WITH BREAST CANCER

Biography

Biography: Gordon Taylor Moffat

Abstract

Identifying mutations in breast cancer genes (BRCA1, BRCA2, PABL2) has important clinical implications on a woman's lifetime susceptibility to breast cancer development. Nearly 10% of immigrants to the United States come from the Caribbean and few studies exist that examine breast cancer gene mutations in African-Caribbean women with existing breast cancer. The purpose is to specifically describe breast cancer epidemiology statistics and review prevalence of BRCA mutations in this cohort.
