We conclude the APOBEC3B deleterious mutation p.Val262Phefs does not confer breast cancer risk. These data do not support the hypothesis that APOBEC3B is a breast cancer susceptibility gene.

APOBEC3B (Apolipoprotein B MRNA Editing Enzyme Catalytic Subunit 3B)
The germline APOBEC3 deletion was associated with increased GBM risk and better OS in astrocytic glioma patients in the Taiwan male population. The APOBEC3B deletion homozygote was a potential independent prognostic factor predicting better survival in male astrocytic glioma patients.

APOBEC3B (Apolipoprotein B MRNA Editing Enzyme Catalytic Subunit 3B)
Together, these data represent direct evidence that endogenous APOBEC3 deaminases generate prevalent mutational signatures in human cancer cells. Our results identify APOBEC3A as the main driver of these mutations, indicate that APOBEC3B can restrain APOBEC3A-dependent mutagenesis while contributing its own smaller mutation burdens and dissect mechanisms that translate APOBEC3 activities into distinct mutational signatures.
