I am deeply grateful to all the patients and families with CS, BRR, and CS-like from around the world who have participated in our studies. I would also like to thank members of my laboratory, numerous collaborators and colleagues, especially Mark Greene and Monica Peacocke, and all the genetic counsellors, especially Heather Hampel and Kathy Schneider, who have contributed in one way or another towards the formulation of these revised criteria. My research activities are funded by the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA, the American Cancer Society, the US Army Breast Cancer Research Program, the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation.
