Functional characterization of BRCA1 sequence variants using a yeast small colony phenotype assay.

Abstract excerpt

Germline mutations that inactivate the tumor suppressor gene BRCA1 are associated with an increased risk of cancers of the breast and other tissues, but the functional consequence of many missense variants found in the human population is uncertain. Several predictive methods have been proposed to distinguish cancer-predisposing missense mutations from harmless polymorphisms, including a small colony phenotype...
