ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a simple and reliable screening method for determining an individual's susceptibility to breast, ovarian, colon or prostrate cancer. This invention also relates to a test kit for use in conjunction with this method. The inventive method targets a specific alteration of the BRCA protein and identifies a non-invasive source of normal cells that express this protein.
