To date, 2 major breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer predisposition genes have been identified. However, a significant proportion of families with multiple cases of breast cancer cannot be explained by mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, 1 especially in the Nordic populations.

Here we report the study on BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in 12 Thai breast and/or ovarian cancer families and 6 early-onset breast or breast/ovarian cancer cases without a family history of cancer. Five distinct rare alterations were identified in each gene: four introducing premature stop codons, one

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked degenerative disorder of muscle, caused by gross rearrangements by the dystrophin gene in two-thirds of cases. The remaining one-third of patients may carry more subtle mutations that are difficult to detect because of the large size and complexity of

## Abstract Estrogen has been suggested to trigger breast cancer development via an initiating mechanism involving its metabolite, catechol estrogen (CE). To examine this hypothesis, we carried out a multigenic case‐control study of 469 incident breast cancer patients and 740 healthy controls to de

## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor‐A (VEGF‐A) plays an important role in tumour angiogenesis and cancer progression. __VEGF__ gene variation may influence VEGF levels and therefore cancer susceptibility and progression. We studied the role of __VEGF__ single nucleotide polymorphisms and
