A group of 83 Spanish BC/OC families were analysed for BRCA1 germ-line mutations. Analysis of the entire coding sequence was carried out by SSCP and PTT. We identified 5 frameshift mutations: 185delAG (2 times), 189insTGTC, 1241delAC, and 5537delA and 3 missense mutations in BRCA1: 330A G G, 1240C G

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
We identified 17 BRCA1 mutations in 86 Austrian breast and ovarian cancer families (20%) that were screened for mutations by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) and the protein truncation test (PTT). Eleven distinct mutations were detected, 4 of them (962del4, 2795del4, 3135del
Germline mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes account for the majority of high-risk breast/ovarian cancer families, depending on the population studied. Previously, BRCA1 mutations were described in women from Western Poland. To further characterize the spectrum of BRCA1 mutations and the impact o
BRCA1 is a tumour suppressor gene located on chromosome band 17q21. It is estimated that mutations in the BRCA1 gene account for approximately 45% of the breast cancer families and almost all of the breast/ovarian cancer families. We have used single strand conformation polymorphism analysis, direct
