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
