Abstract excerpt

Ten BRCA mutations were demonstrated to be frequent in the Norwegian population. We present maps verifying the uneven distribution of prevalences according to municipality. We tested incident breast cancer cases treated in Mid-Norway from 1999 onwards for these mutations. Uptake of testing was 97% and 2.5% were demonstrated to be mutation carriers. Ten (77%) were outside families previously known to carry a...
