Abstract excerpt
To detect BRCA1 mutations in Japanese breast cancer patients, we screened 1,000 unselected primary cancers for mutations in exon 11, which accounts for 61% of the entire BRCA1 coding sequence. Using a method based on multiplex single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of multiple restriction fragments generated by restriction-enzyme digestion of amplified DNA, we identified eight mutations. All...
