Abstract excerpt
The CHEK2 gene mutations I157T (c.470T>C) and IVS2+1G>A affecting the forkhead-associated domain (FHA) have been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer development in several populations. We analyzed the CHEK2 gene segment coding for FHA domain in 673 unselected breast cancer patients and 683 controls from the Czech Republic using the denaturant high-performance liquid chromatography. The found frequency of...
