Abstract excerpt
The BRCA1/2 gene is important for assessing the risk of familial/hereditary ovarian cancer (OC). This case is a patient with OC, and two of her immediate family members are cancer patients. We sequenced the coding and splicing regions of 42 OC susceptibility genes, and found a rare pathogenic splicing mutation BRCA1:c.132C > T (p.cys44 =) in 2 patients. Although the mutation is synonymous, software prediction and...
