  1. ncbi Identification of women with an increased risk of developing radiation-induced breast cancer
    Elisabeth Cardis
    Breast Cancer Res 9:106. 2007
    ..If confirmed, mutation carriers may wish to consider alternatives to X-ray for diagnostic purposes. The need for tailored cancer treatment strategies in carriers should also be evaluated carefully...

    Christopher Pettigrew
    School of Molecular and Microbial Sciences, The University of Queensland, St, Lucia, Queensland, Australia
    Breast Cancer Res 7:R929-39. 2005
    ..Although predicting the effects of changes in consensus 5' and 3' splice sites near intron:exon boundaries is relatively straightforward, predicting the possible effects of changes in exonic splicing enhancers (ESEs) remains a challenge...
