NOTE. Data represent first reported testing procedure. Data on multiple testing procedures in a single participant, if performed, are unavailable.
Abbreviations: CSGE, conformation-sensitive gel electrophoresis; SSCP, single-strand conformation polymorphism.
Some participants did not receive testing for mutations in both BRCA1and BRCA2; however, all participants received testing for mutations in at least one of the two genes.
Other mutation testing procedures include multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, heteroduplex analysis, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction, as well as unspecified procedures.
