Abstract excerpt
Inherited mutations in the BRCA1 gene are known to confer a predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer. We have first characterized 19 sequence variants in the BRCA1 gene during mutation screening by direct sequencing using DNA samples from breast/ovarian cancer patients or obligate carriers. The frequencies of these sequence variants were then compared with those found in control populations of women. Among the...
