We analyzed 16 Italian breast and breast/ovarian cancer families for BRCA1 germline mutations using a combination of the protein truncation test (PTT) and the single-strand conformation polymorphism techniques. Genomic DNA from the affected proband of each family was analyzed by applying the PTT to exon 11 of the BRCA1 gene. This initial screening led to the identification of truncated protein products in three...
