We have screened index cases from 25 Russian breast/ovarian cancer families for germ-line mutations in all coding exons of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, using multiplex heteroduplex analysis. In addition we tested 22 patients with breast cancer diagnosed before age 40 without family history and 6 patie
Germ-line mutations of the BRCA1 gene account for approximately half of the cases of hereditary breast/ovarian cancers. We have screened index patients from 15 breast cancer families and 8 sporadic breast cancer patients from Latvia for mutations in all coding exons of the BRCA1 gene, using combined
The mutation spectrum of the BRCA1 gene among ethnic groups from Asia has not been well studied. We investigated the frequency of mutations in the BRCA1 gene among Malay breast cancer patients from Singapore, independent of family history. By using the protein truncation test (PTT) and direct sequen
