Abstract excerpt
The breast cancer susceptibility gene, BRCA1, was isolated in 1994. Recent investigations into the genetic epidemiology of BRCA1 have revealed an unexpectedly high prevalence of mutations amongst Ashkenazi Jews. Analyses of BRCA1 function have indicated that it may act as an inhibitor of cell proliferation and is necessary for normal development in the mouse. The presence of a motif in BRCA1 characteristic of a...
