do you have any brothers? They presume as I understand it that 50% of any brothers (on average if you had gobs of them) might have died in utero or at an early age from IPEX syndrome, a severe disease of the immune system (ie, lacking parts of the immune system that are essential). Of course in any one family chances are it would never have come up or be noticed.

Are you also ER+PR+? As I recall from the article, the Xlinked her2+ familial bc was usually ER+PR+.
