## Abstract There is conflicting evidence as to whether individuals who are heterozygous for germβline __BRCA1__ or __BRCA2__ mutations have an altered phenotypic cellular response to irradiation. To investigate this, chromosome breakage and apoptotic response were measured after irradiation in per

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
## Abstract The __BRCA1__ gene was identified and cloned in 1994 based its linkage to early onset breast cancer and breastβovarian cancer syndromes in women. While inherited mutations of BRCA1 are responsible for about 40β45% of hereditary breast cancers, these mutations account for only 2β3% of al
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
In this study we genotyped Turkish breast/ovarian cancer patients for BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations: protein truncation test (PTT) for exon 11 BRCA1 of and, multiplex PCR and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) for BRCA2, complemented by DNA sequencing. In addition, a modified restriction assay w
