## Abstract Three mutations in __BRCA1__ (5382insC, C61G and 4153delA) are common in Poland and account for the majority of mutations identified to date in Polish breast and breast–ovarian cancer families. It is not known, however, to what extent these 3 founder mutations account for all of the BRC
Previous mutational analysis for BRCA gene mutations in sporadic ovarian cancer occurring in Chinese patients in Hong Kong identified six germline BRCA1 mutations and one germline BRCA2 mutation, six of which were novel (Khoo et al., 2000). Knowledge of BRCA gene mutations in the Chinese population
