"To investigate whether other CHEK2 variants confer susceptibility to breast cancer, we screened the full CHEK2 coding sequence in BRCA1/2-negative breast cancer cases from 89 pedigrees with three or more cases of breast cancer.

"We identified one novel germline variant, R117G, in two separate families," wrote M. Schutte and colleagues, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cancer Genome Project.

"To evaluate the possible association of R117G and two germline variants reported elsewhere, R145W and I157T with breast cancer, we screened 737 BRCA1/2-negative familial breast cancer cases from 605 families, 459 BRCA1/2-positive cases from 335 families, and 723 controls from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and North America," the ...
