Abstract excerpt
To determine whether a large genomic rearrangement is actually novel and to gain insight about the mutational mechanism responsible for its occurrence, molecular characterization with breakpoint identification is mandatory. We here report the characterization of two large deletions involving the BRCA1 gene. The first rearrangement harbored a 89,664-bp deletion comprising exon 7 of the BRCA1 gene to exon 11 of the...
