Genomic rearrangements of the BRCA1 gene in Chilean breast cancer families: an MLPA analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Point mutations and small deletions and insertions in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are responsible of about 20% of hereditary breast cancer cases in Chilean population. Studies in other populations have identified the amplification and/or deletion of one or more exons in these genes as the cause of the disease. In this study the authors determined the presence of these types of alterations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, in 74...
