Abstract PURPOSE: This report compares the risk factors, the tumor phenotypes, and the BRCA1/BRCA2 genotype of early onset breast cancer (EOBC) patients between Southern Europe and North Africa. METHODS: Four hundred and fifty six women with invasive EOBC ( 20%) tumors. There was a lower rate of BRCA1 mutation in North Africa (7 vs. 15%, P = 0.02). Three putative BRCA1/2 founder mutations were identified in North Africa. CONCLUSIONS: In EOBC, we found significant differences in risk factors, phenotype and a higher incidence of BRCA1 mutations in Southern Europe as compared to North Africa. The worst prognosis previously reported for EOBC in North Africa is more likely due to a higher stage at diagnosis than to a more aggressive phenotype, since triple negative tumors are more common in Southern Europe and advanced tumors in North Africa.
