1	9509273	Within the past few years, a number of genes associated with a high risk of breast cancer have been identified, including BRCA1, BRCA2, p53, and the Cowden disease gene PTEN/MMAC1.
2	9509273	These genes appear to function as tumor suppressors, and although their mutation frequency in the general population is low, certain populations have a carrier frequency of up to 1% for particular BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.
3	9973246	We review many of the molecular events important in the pathogenesis of breast cancer, including inherited abnormalities in BRCA-1 and BRCA-2, p53, ATM, and PTEN and sporadic alterations in growth factors and their receptors, signal transduction, cell cycle control, DNA repair, cell death, angiogenesis, and invasion and metastasis.
4	10030809	Recent advances in molecular biology, however, have shown that hereditary breast cancer may eventuate as a result of mutations on several specific gene loci including BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM gene, PTEN and p53.
5	10030809	Several other less frequently occurring predisposition genes such as the androgen receptor gene (AR), the HNPCC genes and the oestrogen receptor gene may also be involved, but to a lesser extent.
