Predisposing germline mutations in the BRCAl gene were identified recently in families with 17qlinked breast and ovarian cancers. Using single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis, we examined primary breast cancers for mutations in coding exons of BRCAl in a panel of 103 patients, of wh
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.
