A deletion/insertion mutation in the BRCA2 gene in a breast cancer family: a possible role of the Alu-polyA tail in the evolution of the deletion.

Genes, chromosomes & cancer - 1 May 2001

Abstract excerpt

Patients with breast and/or ovarian cancer were screened for gross rearrangements in the BRCA2 gene by Southern hybridization, with exon 10 and a fragment of exon 11 used as probes. One breast cancer patient with a positive family history had a 6.2-kb deletion including exons 12 and 13. The delet...
