"When a woman with a family history of breast cancer sees her physician,
they want to know if they have a mutation in breast/ovarian cancer
genes," says Rogan. "All of the patients that we studied had been
sequenced for BRCA1 or BRCA2. The causative cancer gene variants are
hiding in plain sight in these and other cancer genes, but the original
testing laboratory didn't recognize them. Our approach can reveal gene
variants that might explain their increased risk for cancer."
