Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: BRCA1-interacting protein 1 (BRIP1; FANCJ/BACH1), which encodes a DNA helicase that interacts with BRCA1, has been suggested to be a low-penetrance breast cancer predisposing gene. We aimed to assess whether BRIP1 mutations contribute to breast cancer susceptibility in our population and, if so, to investigate the effect of such mutation(s) on BRIP1 function. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A series of 49...
