Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: It is likely that additional genes for hereditary breast cancer can be identified using a discordant sib pair design. Using this design we identified individuals harboring a rare PMS1 c.605G>A variant previously predicted to result in loss of function. OBJECTIVES: A family-based design and predictive algorithms were used to prioritize candidate variants possibly associated with an increased risk of...
