Abstract excerpt
The RAD51C gene has been recently proposed as a high-penetrance breast and ovarian cancer gene. However, early replication studies have failed to confirm the finding. Thus, further studies in larger cohorts should be conducted in order to clarify the role of RAD51C as a cancer susceptibility gene. Here, we describe a high-resolution melting analysis (HRMA)-based method developed for presequence screening of...
