Doi : 10.1016/j.ajog.2007.01.026
Résumé |
We describe an unusual Ashkenazi Jewish patient with breast and epithelial ovarian cancer who was found to have simultaneous BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations (BRCA1 5382insC and BRCA2 6174delT). While these mutations are known to occur individually in Ashkenazi Jewish women, concomitant BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in the same individual are rare.
