## Abstract Among Asian countries, Pakistan has the highest rates of breast and ovarian cancer. To assess the contribution of the __BRCA1__ and __BRCA2__ germ line mutations to these high rates, we conducted the first study of 176 Pakistani breast and ovarian cancer patients, selected on family his

We have investigated the impact of BRACA1 and BRACA2 mutations that were frequently identified among Hungarian high-risk breast-ovarian cancer families (Ramus et al., 1997b, AJHG), on the development of breast and ovarian cancer in the general Hungarian population. The prevalence of 3 BRCA1 mutation
The presence of genomic rearrangements of the BRCA1 gene in breast and/or ovarian cancer families has been intensively investigated in patients from various countries over the last years. A number of different rearrangements have been reported by several studies that clearly document the involvement
## Abstract Our aim was to estimate the prevalence of mutations in the __BRCA1__ and __BRCA2__ genes among unselected incident cases of breast cancer in young women. We identified 158 incident breast cancer cases diagnosed before age 46 years in predefined geographic areas in Girona and Tarragona,
## Abstract Many rearrangement mutations in the __BRCA1__ gene have been identified. It is becoming clear that some of these mutations are prevalent, and therefore their detection is necessary in order for clinical genetic tests to have high sensitivity. Published information on particular rearrang
Germline mutations within the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, a tumor suppressor gene, are responsible for most cases of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), an autosomal dominantly inherited predisposition to colorectal cancer. To date, more than 300 germ-line causative mutations within thi
