Germline mutations in the BRCAl gene confer susceptibility to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer . We report a new mutation in the BRCAl gene in an Austrian hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) family with four breast cancer cases and one ovarian cancer in three generations. The average age

We identified 17 BRCA1 mutations in 86 Austrian breast and ovarian cancer families (20%) that were screened for mutations by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) and the protein truncation test (PTT). Eleven distinct mutations were detected, 4 of them (962del4, 2795del4, 3135del
We analyzed germline mutations of the BRCAl gene in 20 German breast/ovarian-cancer families. BRCA I mutations cosegregating with breast-cancer susceptibility were identified in 3 of these families. All mutations were found to generate a premature stop codon leading to the synthesis of truncated BRC
