We have investigated the impact of BRACA1 and BRACA2 mutations that were frequently identified among Hungarian high-risk breast-ovarian cancer families (Ramus et al., 1997b, AJHG), on the development of breast and ovarian cancer in the general Hungarian population. The prevalence of 3 BRCA1 mutation

## Abstract Germ‐line mutations within __BRCA1__ are responsible for different proportions of inherited susceptibility to breast/ovarian cancer, and the spectrum of mutations within this gene is often unique to certain populations. At this time, there have been no reports regarding the role of __BR
Ovarian cancer is a clinically important cancer in Turkey. The contribution of BRCA1 and BRCA2 to ovarian cancer in Turkish patients has not previously been described. In this study we investigated the presence of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in 102 consecutively ascertained, hospital-based, ovarian ca
Germline mutations within the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, a tumor suppressor gene, are responsible for most cases of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), an autosomal dominantly inherited predisposition to colorectal cancer. To date, more than 300 germ-line causative mutations within thi
