Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer

Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome

Thematic group 3

Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer syndrome (HBOC) is characterized by a high risk of breast and ovarian cancers.

Two genes are associated with the majority of HBOC families: BRCA1 and BRCA2. Other, less common genes associated with an increased risk of developing breast and other cancers, such as PTEN and TP53, are included in Thematic disease group 4 Other rare genturis.
