Abstract excerpt
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are tumour suppressor genes that have been characterised as predisposition genes for the development of hereditary breast and ovarian cancers among other malignancies. The molecular diagnosis of this predisposition syndrome is based on the detection of inactivating variants of any type in those genes. But in the case of structural variants, functional consequences can be difficult to assess using...
