METHODS FOR THE DETECTION, VISUALIZATION AND HIGH RESOLUTION PHYSICAL MAPPING OF GENOMIC REARRANGEMENTS IN BREAST AND OVARIAN CANCER GENES AND LOCI BRCA1 AND BRCA2 USING GENOMIC MORSE CODE IN CONJUNCTION WITH MOLECULAR COMBING

摘要

Methods for detecting genomic rearrangements in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes at high resolution using Molecular Combing and for determining a predisposition to a disease or disorder associated with these rearrangements including predisposition to ovarian cancer or breast cancer. Primers useful for producing probes for this method and kits for practicing the methods.
