Abstract.Screening for protein-truncating mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes is useful in genetic testing for familial breast cancer because, first, the methods are usually simple and not expensive, and second, the detected mutations indicate pathogenic mutations in general. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of the stop codon (SC) assay for detecting protein-truncating mutations in the BRCA1...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Germline mutations of DNA mismatch repair genes are responsible for cancer susceptibility in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) kindreds. Transforming growth factor beta type II receptor (TGF-beta RII) has been found to be somatically altered in HNPCC. The aim of this study was to clarify further the role of TGF-beta RII alterations in HNPCC tumorigenesis, particularly...
