Models for predicting BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in Han Chinese familial breast and/or ovarian cancer patients
Purpose Our aim was to find an appropriate method to estimate the likelihood that a family history of cancer was a result of a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. We also compared the p...

The prevalence of PALB2 germline mutations in BRCA1/BRCA2 negative Chinese women with early onset breast cancer or affected relatives
PALB2 has been recently identified as breast cancer susceptibility gene in western populations. To investigate the contribution of PALB2 mutations to Chinese non-BRCA1/BRCA2 hereditary breast cancer, we screen...
