Abstract excerpt
Individuals and families carrying mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) have a markedly elevated risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers. The first-generation of BRCA1/2 mutation analysis targeted only the coding exons and has implicated protein-truncating mutations (indel, nonsense) in BRCA1/2 inactivation. Recently, heritable breast cancers have also been attributed to other exonic mutations (missense,...
