Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: BRCA1 and BRCA2 are the two main genes causing hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). However, thanks to the development of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), other genes linked to this syndrome (CHEK2, BRIP1, ATM and PALB2 among others) can be analysed. MATERIAL AND METHODS: an analysis by multigene panel testing was performed in 138 index cases (ICs) from HBOC Spanish families with a previous...
