## Abstract Among Asian countries, Pakistan has the highest rates of breast and ovarian cancer. To assess the contribution of the __BRCA1__ and __BRCA2__ germ line mutations to these high rates, we conducted the first study of 176 Pakistani breast and ovarian cancer patients, selected on family his

We report on the screening of the entire BRCA1/BRCA2 coding sequence by SSCP, PTT, and direct sequencing in 68 Italian families with recurrent breast or ovarian cancer. For each investigated proband, the probability of being carrier of a BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation was evaluated using the BRCAPRO software.

Germline mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are responsible for the predisposition and development of familial breast and/or ovarian cancer. Most mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 associated with breast and/or ovarian cancer result in truncated proteins. To investigate the presence of BRCA1 and BRCA2
