Pathogenic embryonic epimutations in early-onset breast cancers

Some women develop aggressive breast cancer, such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), at a very young age. A key reason may be epimutations—chemical changes that switch off protective genes like BRCA1. These changes often occur before birth, silently increasing the risk of TNBC and certain o...
