Here we report the study on BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in 12 Thai breast and/or ovarian cancer families and 6 early-onset breast or breast/ovarian cancer cases without a family history of cancer. Five distinct rare alterations were identified in each gene: four introducing premature stop codons, one
Mutations in the familial early-onset breast cancer gene (BRCA1) account for approximately 2-5% of all breast cancer cases (Easton et al., 1993). Since the isolation of the BRCA1 gene in 1994, many mutations have been identified. We report here a total of 254 BRCA1 mutations, 132 (52%) of which are
