## Abstract Three mutations in __BRCA1__ (5382insC, C61G and 4153delA) are common in Poland and account for the majority of mutations identified to date in Polish breast and breastβovarian cancer families. It is not known, however, to what extent these 3 founder mutations account for all of the 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
The 185delAG and 5382insC founder mutations account for the majority of mutations identified in BRCA1 in Ashkenazi Jewish breast and breast-ovarian cancer families. Few non-founder BRCA1 mutations have been identified to date in these families. We initially screened a panel of 245 Ashkenazi Jewish b
