Germline BRCA1/2 Variants in Polish Patients with Family History of Breast and Ovarian Cancer: Prevalence, CNV Detection, and Identification of a Novel Loss-of-Function Mutation.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are associated with a significantly increased risk of breast and/or ovarian cancer. We investigated genetic variants in a cohort of 450 unaffected individuals with a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer, involving at least one first-degree relative. METHODS: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to analyze...
