We analyzed germline mutations of the BRCAl gene in 20 German breast/ovarian-cancer families. BRCA I mutations cosegregating with breast-cancer susceptibility were identified in 3 of these families. All mutations were found to generate a premature stop codon leading to the synthesis of truncated BRC
Family history is a well-recognized risk factor for the development of breast cancer. The isolation of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, the two major predisposing genes in familial and to early onset breast and ovarian cancer, has resulted to the identification of a large number of families with mutations in
A series of 45 high-risk breast cancer patients, consisting of 25 affected individuals from 16 families in China with at least two cases of breast cancer and 20 cases of breast cancer diagnosed under age 35 without reported family history, were studied for germline mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 g
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
