Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA) genes are heavily involved in mammalian cell DNA repair processes. Germline pathogenic mutations in BRCA increase the lifetime risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer in women. In the Arabian Peninsula, most breast and ovarian cancers are diagnosed as early-onset cases, some of which may be due to germline variants in BRCA genes. To identify the BRCA germline mutation...
