Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: PALB2 (Partner and Localizer of BRCA2) is recently recognized as a breast cancer predisposition gene. Germline loss-of-function mutations in PALB2 lead to increased breast cancer risk. Since the germline mutation frequency of PALB2 is much less than BRCA1/2, the distinct mutation spectrum of PALB2 is still obscure. To verify the utility of PALB2 genetic testing in Chinese population, we assessed the...
