Protein truncating variants in FANCM and risk for ER-negative/triple negative breast cancer

FANCM protein truncating variants (PTVs) are emerging as risk factors for ER-negative and triple negative breast cancer. Here, we discuss evidence that greatest risk associates with PTVs, such as p.Arg658*, that extensively truncate the 2048 amino acid FANCM protein. Moreover, risks associated with...
