Abstract excerpt
A total of 226 index cases from high-risk hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families of German origin who had tested negative for small nucleotide alterations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 were analyzed for gross genomic rearrangements at the two gene loci by the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification technique. Six large genomic alterations were identified in BRCA1, while no gross rearrangements were found in...
