## Abstract Recently, the 1100delC variant of cell cycle checkpoint kinase 2 (CHEK2) has been reported to confer a colorectal cancer risk in hereditary nonโpolyposisโcolorectal cancer (HNPCC) and HNPCCโrelated families in the Netherlands. To investigate whether CHEK2 mutations confer increased canc

## Abstract The __CHEK2__ 1100delC mutation was recently identified as a lowโpenetrance breast cancer susceptibility allele. The mutation occurred more frequently in families with clustering of breast and colorectal cancers (CRCs) than in families with clustering of breast cancer only. Hence, the 1
## Abstract The 1100delC mutation of the cell cycle checkpoint kinase 2 (__CHEK2__) gene confers an increased risk for breast cancer, but the clinical impact of other __CHEK2__ gene variants remains unclear. We determined the frequency of two functionally relevant __CHEK2__ gene mutations, I157T an
## Communicated by Marc S. Greenblatt Genetic defects in CHEK2 and TP53 have been implicated in prostate cancer development. However, the interaction of these two genes in prostate cancer tumorigenesis has not been investigated. We previously described 11 CHEK2 mutations in a group of 84 primary p
## Abstract Quantitative and structural genetic alterations cause the development and progression of prostate cancer. A number of genes have been implicated in prostate cancer by genetic alterations and functional consequences of the genetic alterations. These include the __ELAC2__ (__HPC2__), __MS
