We have screened index cases from 25 Russian breast/ovarian cancer families for germ-line mutations in all coding exons of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, using multiplex heteroduplex analysis. In addition we tested 22 patients with breast cancer diagnosed before age 40 without family history and 6 patie
BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations underlie a substantial proportion of all hereditary breast cancer. The mutational spectrum in these genes is very broad, with hundreds of different BRCA mutations reported worldwide. However, high frequency founder mutations make up a substantial fraction of all mutations i
Sixty high-risk breast and/or ovarian cancer families from North-Eastern Poland were screened for germline mutations in BRCA1 (MIM# 113705) and BRCA2 (MIM# 600185), using a combination of protein truncation test, denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography and direct sequencing. Sixteen (27%)
