Comprehensive mutation detection of BRCA1/2 genes reveals large genomic rearrangements contribute to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in Chinese women
7 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutated BRCA1/2 genes are associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). So far most of the identified BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants are single nucleotide variants (SNVs) or insertions/deletions (Indels). However, large genomic rearrangements (LGRs) such as copy number variants (CNVs) are also playing an important role in HBOC predisposition. Their frequency and spectrum have been well...
