About 5-10% of breast cancer cases are hereditary and attributable to mutations in several susceptibility genes from which to date only 2 have been identified: BRCA1 (17q21) and BRCA2 (13q12). However, the BRCA genes only explain about 30% of familial breast/ovarian cancer, suggesting the existence
No mutations in the BACH1 gene in BRCA1 and BRCA2 negative breast-cancer families linked to 17q22

The two major hereditary breast/ovarian cancer predisposition tumor suppressor genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2 that perform apparently generic cellular functions nonetheless cause tissue-specific syndromes in the human population when they are altered, or mutated in the germline. However, little is known abo
## Abstract BARD1 (BRCA1โassociated RING domain) was identified by yeast twoโhybrid screening as a protein interacting with BRCA1. Somatic and germline mutations of __BARD1__ have been detected in sporadic breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancers. The present study represents the first description
In this study we genotyped Turkish breast/ovarian cancer patients for BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations: protein truncation test (PTT) for exon 11 BRCA1 of and, multiplex PCR and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) for BRCA2, complemented by DNA sequencing. In addition, a modified restriction assay w
Two potential breast cancer susceptibility genes, encoding the BRCA1-interacting proteins ZNF350 (or ZBRK1) and BRIP1 (or BACH1), have been identified in yeast two-hybrid screens. We sequenced these genes in probands from 21 families with potentially inherited breast/ovarian cancer, all of which wer
