Article Title: BRCA1 , BRCA2 , PALB2 , and CDKN2A Mutations in Familial Pancreatic Cancer (FPC): A PACGENE Study
doi: 10.1038/gim.2014.153
Figure Lengend Snippet: Probability (%) that probands affected with pancreatic cancer (PC) will test positive for a deleterious mutation in BRCA1 , BRCA2 , PALB2 , or CDKN2A, if from kindreds with various cancer family histories. Number of PC includes proband. Sizes of sample subsets from which probabilities were estimated are shown in parentheses.
Article Snippet: Re-sequencing analysis for germline mutations in BRCA1 , BRCA2 , PALB2 , and CDKN2A and large rearrangement analysis for BRCA1 and BRCA2 was conducted by Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc. Full-sequence DNA analysis of these four genes and breakpoint analysis for five large genomic rearrangements in BRCA1 (exon13del3835bp, exon13ins6kb, exon14-20del26kb, exon22del510bp, and exon8-9del7.1kb) were performed using previously described methods., All testing adhered to Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) requirements.
Techniques: Mutagenesis
