Abstract excerpt
MRG15 is a recently identified member of the BRCA multiprotein complex, essential for the maintenance of the genome integrity and DNA repair. The functional relationship between PALB2 and MRG15 makes MRG15 a strong candidate breast cancer susceptibility gene. We screened affected probands from 232 BRCA1/2-negative breast cancer families for mutations in MRG15. We identified seven previously unreported variants...
