Abstract excerpt
Allele variants of the CHEK2 gene have been found to be associated with several types of cancer, including cancer of the breast, prostate, lung, and ovary. In the Polish population, three founder mutations of CHEK2 have been identified: I157T, 444+1G>A (formerly IVS2+1G>A), and 1100delC. The aim of our study was to establish a simple method to identify founder CHEK2 mutations and determine the prevalence of these...
