  • Cancer susceptibility mutations of BRCA1
    Patent number: 6083698
    Abstract: New mutations have been found in the BRCA1 gene. The mutations are located at nucleotide numbers 421-2, 815, 903, 926, 1506, 2034, 2428, 3888, 3904, 4164, 4643, 5053, 5150, 5210, or 5396+40 of the gene sequence of BRCA1. A process for identifying a sequence variation in a BRCA1 polynucleotide sequence is disclosed. The identification process includes allele specific sequence-based assays of known sequence variations. The methods can be used for efficient, and accurate detection of a mutation in a test BRCA1 gene sample.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Oncormed, Inc.
    Inventors: Sheri Jon Olson, Tracy Staton Angelly, Tammy Lawrence, Jennifer Lee Lescallett, Patricia Davis Murphy, Antonette Preisinger Allen, Denise Bernadette Thurber, Marga Belle White, Bin Zeng, Lisa K. Sadzewicz
  • Cancer susceptibility mutations of BRCA2
    Patent number: 6051379
    Abstract: New mutations have been found in the BRCA2 gene. The mutations are located at nucleotide numbers 2192, 3772, 5193, 5374, 6495 or 6909 of the published nucleotide sequence of BRCA2 gene. A process for identifying a sequence variation in a BRCA2 polynucleotide sequence is disclosed. The identification process includes allele specific sequence-based assays of known sequence variations. The methods can be used for efficient, and accurate detection of a mutation in a test BRCA2 gene sample.
