Germ-line mutations in BRCA1 cause a substantial proportion of inherited breast cancer, and most result in inactivated BRCA1 proteins upon translation. Tumours developing in BRCA1 mutation carriers generally show loss of the wild-type allele. However, acquired inactivating mutations in BRCA1 in non-

## Abstract Breast cancer occurs rarely in men and risk factors for the disease include germline mutations of the __BRCA2__ gene. High frequency of allelic loss at the __BRCA2__ locus has been reported in sporadic breast tumors, but somatic mutations of __BRCA2__ are very rare. Here we report the f

The PTEN (MMAC1/TEP1) tumor suppressor gene was recently isolated and mapped to human chromosome band 10q23. Homozygous deletions and mutations of PTEN were observed in cell lines and sporadic cancers of the breast, kidney, and central nervous system. Germline mutations in PTEN were recently found i

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

In order to evaluate the role of BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline mutations in Korean patients with sporadic breast cancer, 97 patients with sporadic breast cancer were analyzed for mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 coding regions, by using a combination of fluorescent-conformation sensitive gel electrophore
