Biological Specimen Bank to Enhance Population Based Studies of Inherited Breast Cancer Genes

Abstract

The objectives of this infrastructure enhancement project are to establish a population-based biological specimen and companion risk-factor data bank on 225 invasive breast cancer cases, aged 35 and under. These breast cancer cases have been enrolled through the tumor incidence registries in Connecticut, Massachusetts and 7 regions in California with a total population of 21 million (8% of US women).
