Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for majority of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. The complete coding sequence analysis of both genes was carried out in 197 breast/ovarian cancer patients from high-risk families and 53 patients with sporadic breast/ovarian cancer. In summary, 59 mu
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
