Twelve patients carrying BRCA1 germ-linemutation were included in the study.
2
The study includes 778 women carrying a BRCA1 germ-linemutation belonging to 403 families.
3
The present mutation is the 19th nucleotide substitution identified as a germ-linemutation at this locus and the second mutation generating a stop codon.
4
Options available for germ-linemutation carriers, in addition to cancer screening, include prophylactic colectomy as well as prophylactic total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
5
The germ-linemutation (G382D) of the human MUTYH gene is therefore likely to be responsible for the occurrence of a mutator phenotype in these patients.
6
DNA from probands of linked families was examined for germ-linemutations in PODXL.
7
PALB2 germ-linemutations contribute to a small fraction of cancer cases in Russia.
8
A 7-fold association between germ-linemutations and family history of breast-ovarian cancer emerged.
9
This disease is caused by germ-linemutations in the base excision repair MYH gene.
10
We demonstrate the first three germ-linemutations in ATM identified by screening of breast cancer patients.
11
A BRCA2 allele transcript imbalance was found in one of four heterozygotes tested, all of them negative for germ-linemutations.
12
Germ-linemutations in PTEN have also been described in Cowden disease and in a small number of patients with juvenile polyposis syndrome.
13
Germ-linemutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are associated with 5-10% of breast cancer incidence.
14
We wanted to examine which microsatellite markers currently used to detect MSI best predict early-onset colorectal cancer caused by germ-linemutations in MMR genes.
15
Germ-linemutations in the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase gene have been described in families with a propensity to develop gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).
16
Carriers of germ-linemutations in the breast cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are particularly prone to develop breast cancer.
