Abstract excerpt
Mutations in breast cancer susceptibility (BRCA) genes lead to defects in DNA repair processes resulting in elevated genome instability and predisposing to breast and ovarian cancer.

Using automated DNA sequencing, we tested individuals for BRCA mutations, based on positive family history of either breast or ovarian...
