Abstract excerpt
We screened 117 breast tumour samples in Chinese females for mutations in the breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) gene and identified a novel mutation in the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) in two patients with grade III infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma. We examined whether this 5' UTR mutation affected the translational efficiency of BRCA1 protein. A vector was constructed containing the mutated 5' UTR up-stream of...
