DNP 805 Topic 5 Discussion 2
Using the clinical question you identified from above, determine the individual components to
that question and pinpoint the location in the hypothetical database where the information you
require will be extracted.
When exploring the causes of breast cancer, researchers circle back to genetics. There is
well-documented research on women who have mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and
eventually develop breast cancer. However, there is new insight into how smaller variations
signpost regions in the DNA loci where the genes that affect breast cancer risk are most likely
to be located (Michalilidou et al., 2017). While these smaller variations contribute to minimal
