Abstract excerpt
Genetic testing for breast cancer predisposing genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, can take advantage for early identification of carriers with pathogenic germline mutations. However, conventional approaches based on Sanger sequencing are laborious and expensive. Next-generation sequencing technology has a great impact on investigation of medical genomics and now applied clinical genetics. We provide a protocol based on a...
