## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: It has been demonstrated that the partner and localizer of breast cancer 2 (PALB2) acts as a bridging molecule between the breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) and BRCA2 proteins and is responsible for facilitating BRCA2βmediated DNA repair. Truncating mutations in the __PALB2__ gene

Germline mutations of BRCA2 were examined in 20 Japanese breast cancer families without BRCA1 mutations, including one demonstrating cancer development in a male. Three different mutations, resulting in truncation of the BRCA2 protein, were detected in 3 different families. They were 9474insA (exon
Germline mutation analysis of BRCA1 gene has demonstrated significant allelic heterogeneity. These differences represent historical influences of migration, population structure and geographic or cultural isolation. To date, there have been no reports of Indian families with mutations in BRCA1. We h
