Abstract excerpt
Deleterious mutations in the RAD51C gene, which encodes a DNA double-strand break repair protein, have been reported to confer high-penetrance susceptibility to both breast and ovarian cancer. To confirm this we conducted a mutation screen of the RAD51C gene in 192 probands from high-risk breast and/or ovarian cancer families that do not carry BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. The nine exons of the RAD51C gene containing...
