Abstract excerpt
To investigate the putative role of BRCA1, a gene involved in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, in sporadic ovarian tumors among Japanese women, we examined 76 unselected primary ovarian cancers for mutations in the coding region of BRCA1 using the single-strand conformation polymorphism technique. Although no somatic mutations were detected in any of the tumors, constitutional mutations were identified in...
