We identified 17 BRCA1 mutations in 86 Austrian breast and ovarian cancer families (20%) that were screened for mutations by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) and the protein truncation test (PTT). Eleven distinct mutations were detected, 4 of them (962del4, 2795del4, 3135del

Approximately 2% to 5% of all breast cancers are hereditary, meaning that the cancer predisposition is carried as a monogenic trait. Several highly penetrant breast cancer predisposing genes have been identified. These discoveries will permit a refined description of breast cancer occurring as part
This study describes how the new massive parallel sequencing technology can be implemented in a diagnostic setting for the breast cancer susceptibility genes (BRCA1 and BRCA2). The throughput was maximized by increasing uniformity in coverage, obtained by a multiplex approach, which outperformed poo
