The proposed data collection is
integral to a medical research study of the BRCA1 gene. Recently an
unexpectedly high frequency of a particular mutation in the BRCA1
gene was detected in Jewish individuals. We propose to study
approximately 5,000 Jewish individuals from Greater Washington by
collecting a small blood sample and a brief questionnaire that
concentrates on family history of cancer. This study will refine
the estimate of how commonly certain BRCA1 mutations occur in this
population and will estimate the risk of cancer in those who carry
a mutation. These estimates are essential....
