The two major hereditary breast/ovarian cancer predisposition tumor suppressor genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2 that perform apparently generic cellular functions nonetheless cause tissue-specific syndromes in the human population when they are altered, or mutated in the germline. However, little is known abo
Germ-line mutations in the breast cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for a large proportion of hereditary breast/ovarian cancer families. A large number of disease-causing germ-line mutations and variants of unknown pathological significance have been identified in both genes. The m
## Communicated by Mark H. Paalman Germline mutations in breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, are responsible for a substantial proportion of high-risk breast and breast/ovarian cancer families. To characterize the spectrum of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, we screened Czech families w
