A large germline deletion removing exons 1 to 22 of the BRCA1 gene has been previously detected using quantitative PCR based methods (QMPSF and real time PCR gene dosage assay) in a woman affected with breast and ovarian cancer. Here, we report its characterisation by using colour bar code on combed
The cloning of the breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene, BRCA1, allows direct estimation of the proportion of these cancers in the general population which can be attributed to germline mutations in this gene. We have used a combination of SSCP, heteroduplex analysis, and chemical cleavage
