PALB2: a novel inactivating mutation in a Italian breast cancer family.

Abstract excerpt

Rare germline monoallelic mutations in PALB2 confer a relative risk of breast cancer of 2 to 4-times. To better define the role of PALB2 in breast cancer susceptibility in Italian breast or breast-ovarian cancer families we screened 95 index cases negative for BRCA1/BRCA2 germline mutations. The mutational analysis of the PALB2 gene in a index case of an high risk breast cancer family, has identified a frameshift...
