“…In our study, we determined the prevalence of all BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations among Latin American breast cancer subjects. This study is similar to Wang et al and Forat-Yazdi et al, who determine the prevalence in breast cancer families and Iranians, respectively [54,55]; however, neither study examined the prevalence in nor contained Latin American subjects, specifically. Furthermore, Wang et al and Forat-Yazdi et al excluded studies from their meta-analysis that determine the absence of a mutation from their sample, which may have led them to overestimated the mutation's prevalence.…”

“…Two benign mutations, c.3113A>G BRCA1 in exon 10 and c.4837A>G BRCA1 in exon 16, were detected in 8/16 relatives (50%). Variants c.3113A>G and c.4837A>G were previously reported as candidate founder mutations in an iranian population (27).…”

“…Aging, family history of cancer, and certain behaviors [4], as well as dietary habits [5, 6], are risk factors for BC. Endogenous metabolites and exogenous carcinogens cause genetic damage [7], and mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes [8] may contribute to the etiology of BC. In addition, oxidative stress may play a critical role in cell proliferation and malignant conversion during the development of BC [9].…”
