We identified 17 BRCA1 mutations in 86 Austrian breast and ovarian cancer families (20%) that were screened for mutations by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) and the protein truncation test (PTT). Eleven distinct mutations were detected, 4 of them (962del4, 2795del4, 3135del
The recent discovery of the breast cancer-associated genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 has changed the clinical care provided to women at high risk of breast cancer. We will review what is currently known about the clinical management of patients who bear (or are suspected of bearing) mutations in either of the
We screened 81 ovarian tumours (30 BRCA1 associated, 18 BRCA2 associated, and 33 sporadic) for somatic TP53 mutations using both DNA analysis and immunostaining. TP53 mutations were significantly more frequent in tumours with mutations in BRCA1 (70% by immunostaining and 60% by DNA analysis) and BRC
We have investigated the impact of BRACA1 and BRACA2 mutations that were frequently identified among Hungarian high-risk breast-ovarian cancer families (Ramus et al., 1997b, AJHG), on the development of breast and ovarian cancer in the general Hungarian population. The prevalence of 3 BRCA1 mutation
