Germline mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are responsible for the predisposition and development of familial breast and/or ovarian cancer. Most mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 associated with breast and/or ovarian cancer result in truncated proteins. To investigate the presence of BRCA1 and BRCA2
Germline mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes account for the majority of high-risk breast/ovarian cancer families, depending on the population studied. Previously, BRCA1 mutations were described in women from Western Poland. To further characterize the spectrum of BRCA1 mutations and the impact o
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
