Abstract
This study is the first to examine the genetic risk in a breast cancer-prone family wherein two of three triplet sisters and their mother manifested breast cancer. The unaffected triplet, the proband, was found to be monozygotic with her deceased sister through DNA testing of tumor blocks and dizygotic to her living affected sister. Genetic counseling implications are discussed.
