Abstract
•Alterations to the somatic genome lead to a tumor.•Different germ line genomes influence the formation of the tumor and its response to therapeutics.•Germ line genetics can play a role in breast cancer.•Race is an imperfect measure of germ line genetics.•Black women have a higher incidence of triple negative breast cancer. Alterations to the somatic genome lead to a tumor. Different germ line genomes influence the formation of the tumor and its response to therapeutics. Germ line genetics can play a role in breast cancer. Race is an imperfect measure of germ line genetics. Black women have a higher incidence of triple negative breast cancer.
