One fifth of Turkish breast cancer patients ≤ 40 years of age had at least one PV/LPV in breast cancer predisposing genes with 26-gene inherited cancer panel. The frequency of PV/LPVs was higher in triple-negative young-onset patients compared to hormone receptor and Her-2 positive subtypes. Our findings regarding to frequency PV/LPVs in BRCA 1/2 and non-BRCA genes in young-onset breast cancer patients are in line with the literature.
