## 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
## 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
