I did a little research
on Foxp3 after I read this. Seems it is also implicated in Hashimoto's thyroiditis, where the body develops antibodies to the thyroid hormones, an auto-immune disease. There has been a correspondence between this form of thyroid disease and bc, but the link has never been clear. Maybe this is the culprit? I also note that the Foxp3 mutation is on the X chromosome, meaning that mutations for women are inheritable from either parent. My father had prostate cancer, and I think that should have been seen as a bc risk factor for me pre-dx, but never was. Just MO.
