Eur J Med Genet 51:141-7. 2008..8%) and non-Ashkenazi Jews (9.1%). The combined prevalence of BRCA1/BRCA2 founder mutations among Ashkenazi Jewish men is slightly higher than for women, due to a higher frequency of BRCA2 mutations...
Mutational analysis of the BRCA1-interacting genes ZNF350/ZBRK1 and BRIP1/BACH1 among BRCA1 and BRCA2-negative probands from breast-ovarian cancer families and among early-onset breast cancer cases and reference individualsJoni L Rutter

Am J Epidemiol 164:794-804. 2006..The authors show a "real world" application of some existing bioinformatics tools for use in large epidemiologic studies and genetic analyses. They also reviewed alternative approaches that provide related information...
Efficiency of DNA pooling to estimate joint allele frequencies and measure linkage disequilibriumRuth M Pfeiffer
Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute, 6120 Executive Boulevard, EPS 8030, Bethesda, MD 20892 7244, USA
Genet Epidemiol 22:94-102. 2002..Our methods allow for imperfect assay sensitivity and specificity. The expected savings in numbers of assays required when pooling is utilized compared to individual testing are quantified...
