Identification of Germline Alterations in the Mad-homology 2 (MH2) Domain of SMAD3 and SMAD4 In Breast Cancer Susceptibility

A feature of neoplastic cells is that mutations in the key intermediates of TGF-β signaling contribute to the loss of sensitivity to its anti-tumor effects. The role of SMAD3 and SMAD4 germline mutations in breast cancer predisposition is currently unclear. To address this, mutation analysis of the...
