"Alterations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes account for a large proportion of hereditary breast and ovarian cancers. Mutations and variants of unknown pathological significance have been identified in both genes; however, most of them have been studied only at the genomic level, and their effect on mRNA expression remains unknown," investigators in Pisa, Italy report.
"We identified two BRCA1 and six BRCA2 splice site variants, and one BRCA2 alteration at exon 14. Our aim was to ascertain the effect on RNA processing of the variants still unclassified. We found that...
