We have carried out a study of breast cancer in Spanish families in which the entire coding region of the BRCA1 gene have been analyzed. To identify BRCA1 mutations, PTT and CSGE methods were used followed by direct sequencing. We investigated 51 breast cancer women with a family history. Among thes

## BACKGROUND. There is a clear and growing need for data regarding BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation frequencies among breast carcinoma cases not specifically ascertained on the basis of extreme family history profiles. Toward this end, the authors previously reported results with regard to BRCA1 in breast
X-linked hydrocephalus is caused by mutations in the gene for neural cell adhesion molecule L1 (L1CAM). In this report, we describe identification of a mutation in an isolated case of hydrocephalus with adducted thumbs. Tracing the origin of the mutation within the family showed a degree of somatic
We have developed a 2-stage protocol for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation screening from blood spot paper. Stage 1 screening was aimed to analyze patients at highest risk for the most common disease-associated sequence variants listed in the BIC database. Accordingly, stage1 testing implied detection of 18
