Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In a previous work, we identified nine founder mutations present in close to 80% of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers, and distributed across the country. The presence of founder mutations constitutes a valuable opportunity to develop new strategies for genetic screening. Genetic tests are primarily performed by NGS sequencing, which requires sophisticated and expensive equipment, and it takes...
