Abstract excerpt
To study the BRCA1 mutations in eastern Chinese patients with early onset breast cancer and affected relatives, 41 patients' genomic DNA from peripheral mononuclear blood cells was studied by using single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and DNA sequencing. The BRCA1 mutations were detected in the whole gene sequence. Three novel disease-causing mutations (c.582C>T, c.735C>T and c.2790delT) occurred in...
