Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to implement the massively parallel sequencing technology for diagnostic applications. We evaluated an amplicon-based method for the analysis of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes on the Roche 454 GS-FLX sequencer, to identify disease-causing mutations in breast and/or ovarian cancer patients. A first evaluation relied on the analysis of DNA fragments containing known mutations. Secondly, the...
