A substantial part of all hereditary breast cancer cases is caused by BRCA1 germline mutations. In this review, we will discuss the insights into BRCA1 functions that we obtained from mouse models with conventional and conditional mutations in Brca1. The most advanced models closely resemble human BRCA1-related breast cancer and may therefore be useful for addressing clinically relevant questions.
所有遗传性乳腺癌病例中有很大一部分是由BRCA1种系突变引起的。在本综述中,我们将讨论从Brca1具有常规和条件性突变的小鼠模型中获得的关于BRCA1功能的见解。最先进的模型与人类BRCA1相关乳腺癌非常相似,因此可能有助于解决临床相关问题。
