In this study, we analyzed a "variant of uncertain significance" (VUS) located in exon 23 of the BRCA2 gene exhibited by six members of five distinct families with hereditary breast cancer (BC). The variant was identified by DNA sequencing, and cDNA analysis revealed its co-expression with wild-type mRNA. We analyzed co-occurrence with other pathological mutations in BRCA1/2, performed a case-control study,...
