Abstract excerpt
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are two major genes associated with familial breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility. In Poland standard BRCA gene test is usually limited to Polish founder BRCA1 mutations: 5382insC, C61G and 4153delA. To date, just a few single large genomic rearrangements (LGRs) of BRCA1 gene have been reported in Poland. Here we report the first comprehensive analysis of large mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2...
