Germline mutations in individuals with meningioma and breast cancer. 

An association between meningioma and breast cancer in women has been described, indicating a moderately increased risk to develop one if already diagnosed with the other. However, the mechanism of this association is not fully elucidated. Given the potential impact of heritability within a family and the need for appropriate risk assessment and medical management, exploring the contribution of germline genetic mutations in these cases is important.
