Abstract excerpt
A significant number of hereditary breast or ovarian cancers are caused by germline variants, mostly BRCA1/BRCA2 genes. Because genetic predispositions vary by ethnicity, several studies have reported founder variants of BRCA1/BRCA2 genes. Such founder variants were reported primarily based on their relevant population frequencies. We reviewed the variant data relating to BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes from January 2012...
