✦ Synopsis

Germline mutations in the BRCA1 (MIM 113705) and BRCA2 (MIM 600185) genes have been identified for breast and ovarian cancer families of diverse ethnic backgrounds. To date, there have been no reports of Native North American families with mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2. Here we report two families of aboriginal descent both with the same BRCA1 alterations (1510insG, 1506A>G). The families represent two aboriginal Canadian tribes (Cree and Ojibwe), although a common ancestral origin is likely. This is the first evidence of a BRCA1 mutation specific to aboriginal peoples of North America.

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

Germline mutation analysis of BRCA1 gene has demonstrated significant allelic heterogeneity. These differences represent historical influences of migration, population structure and geographic or cultural isolation. To date, there have been no reports of Indian families with mutations in BRCA1. We h
