Abstract excerpt
The unique genetic demography of the French Canadian population of Quebec, Canada, has provided a means to study the contribution of BRCA1 and BRCA2, the breast-ovarian cancer susceptibility genes. Here we review BRCA1 and BRCA2 in the context of French Canadian cancer families, a well-characterized founder population known for its contributions to medical genetics. Pathogenic BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations contribute...
