Epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of breast cancer in obligate ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) heterozygotes. We analyzed 100 samples from young breast cancer patients for mutations in ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM), the gene responsible for the autosomal recessive condition, A-T
The main mutation in fragile X patients is the expansion of the CGG repeat in the first exon of the FMR1 gene, associated with hypermethylation of the proximal CpG island. An increasing number of atypical cases have been reported showing the coexistence of full mutation and premutated or normalsized
