Background Patients with hereditary breast cancer constitute a considerable fraction of overall breast cancer sufferers. The contribution of genetic factors to the development of breast cancer in the admixed and highly consanguineous population of the western region of Saudi Arabia is thought to be significant as the disease is early onset [1]. The current protocols of continuous clinical follow-up of relatives of such patients are costly and cause a burden on the usually over-stretched medical resources. Discovering the significant contribution of BRCA1/2 mutations to breast cancer susceptibility allowed for the design of genetic tests that allows the medical practitioner to focus the care for those who need it most. However, BRCA1/2 mutations do not account for all breast cancer susceptibility genes and there are other genetic factors, known and unknown that may play a role in the development of such disease.
