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
## 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
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND BRCA1 and BRCA2 alterations are associated with an increased risk of developing breast carcinoma. The authors hypothesized that the progression of breast neoplasia may differ between patients with hereditary disease and patients with nonhereditary disease and that this di
