BRCA1 founder mutations and beyond in the Polish population: A single-institution BRCA1/2 next-generation sequencing study

Hereditary mutations in BRCA1/2 genes increase the risk of breast cancer by 60-80% and ovarian cancer by about 20-40% in female carriers. Detection of inherited mutations in asymptomatic carriers allows for the implementation of appropriate preventive measures. BRCA1/2 genotyping is also important f...
