Overview

Whole-exome sequencing detected genetic variants in 105 Vietnamese women with breast cancer, suggesting hereditary factors affect risk.

Key Points

  • A total of 56 genetic variants tied to breast cancer were identified from 105 patients, enhancing hereditary risk knowledge.
  • Among the identified variants, 12 were novel and 10 were classified as pathogenic according to ACMG criteria.
  • Whole-exome sequencing methodology allows deeper exploration of genetic factors contributing to breast cancer in underserved populations.
  • This study highlights the potential for improved genetic counseling and risk assessment in Vietnamese women facing breast cancer.
