Spectrum and Prevalence of Pathogenic Variants in Ovarian Cancer Susceptibility Genes in a Group of 333 Patients
14 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Constitutional loss-of-function pathogenic variants in the tumor suppressor genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are widely associated with an elevated risk of ovarian cancer (OC). As only ~15% of OC individuals carry the BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants, the identification of other potential OC-susceptibility genes is of great clinical importance. Here, we established the prevalence and spectrum of the germline pathogenic variants...
