Search for Novel Breast Cancer Susceptibility Genes in Pedigrees of African Ancestry
The research team is studying why some African American families have multiple cases of
breast cancer.
This study will help to better understand if there are undiscovered genes unique to African
Americans that may predict early breast cancer risk.
Breast cancer survivors AND their relatives who are also breast cancer survivors are being
recruited to the study.
