Abstract excerpt
The frequencies and spectra of germline mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes vary among populations. In the present study, the mutation spectra of the BRCA1/BRCA2 genes in Korean breast cancer patients were investigated using whole-gene sequencing method. A total of 134 unrelated Korean breast cancer patients who were identified as being at high risk of carrying BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations were included. PCR...
