Description:	Epidemiological studies have provided much information on important risk factors for breast cancer. These include age, family or personal history of breast cancer, reproductive history and exposures to specific carcinogens. The importance of epigenetic regulation in breast cancer progression is increasingly recognized. While germline mutations in breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, play a significant role in a small fraction of breast cancer cases, we have found that an epigenetically-induced modulation of BRCA1 gene expression occurs in a significant proportion of sporadic breast cancers.
