Abstract excerpt
Studies on mutations of BRCA1 gene in Oriental populations, especially in Chinese are sparse. To evaluate the contribution of BRCA1 mutations to sporadic breast cancer in Chinese, mutations in exon 11 from nucleotide positions 3533 to 3682(U14680), a highly variable region of BRCA1 gene, were screened by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and DNA sequencing in 329 genomic DNAs from 95 Chinese women...
