Germline BRCA2 mutations predispose to the development of pancreatic cancer. A polymorphic stop codon in the coding region of BRCA2 (K3326X) has been described, and although an initial epidemiological study suggested it was not disease causing, subsequent studies have been inconclusive. To investigate the biological significance of the K3326X polymorphism, we determined its prevalence in patients with sporadic...
