Abstract

Germline BRCA2 pathogenic variant carriers are associated with prostate cancer risk. Ashkenazi Jewish people are at higher risk of breast cancer due to the high prevalence of specific founder germline BRCA1/2 variants. The distribution of these variants (BRCA1 vs. BRCA2) in Ashkenazi men with prostate cancer is not clear.
