In the intervening fifteen years, the medical institutionalisation of these knowledge-practices and accompanying medical techniques for assessing and managing risk have advanced at a rapid pace across multiple national and transnational arenas, whilst also themselves constituting a highly mobile and shifting terrainGenetics and society (Series)BreastCancerGenetic aspectsBRCA genesTumor markersSociety and culture: generalSocial and cultural anthropologySociologyBreastCancerGenetic aspects.BRCA genes.Tumor markers.616.99/449616.99449Gibbon Sahraedt1451457Gibbon Sahra1451457MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910831885003321Breast cancer gene research and medical practices4129930UNINA
