Design and validation of a next generation sequencing assay for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer

2015-10-30

Abstract excerpt

Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, caused by a germline deleterious variant in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, is characterized by an increased risk for breast, ovarian, pancreatic and other cancers. Identification of those who have a BRCA1/2 mutation is important so that they can take advantage of genetic counseling, screening, and potentially life-saving prevention strategies. We describe the design and...
