Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most common causes of death due to cancer in women. More than half of hereditary breast/ovarian cancer families could be attributed to mutation in breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1. This study was performed on blood samples of 30 women who affected with familial breast cancer. Non-radioactive PCR-SSCP technique was utilized mutation screening in exons 3, 10, 12 of BRCA1 gene. Two shifts in exon 3 and also two in exon 12 was detected, but no shift in exon 10 was found. Due to low number of recognized mutations, the statistical analysis didn’t show a meaningful correlation between mutations and pathological characteristics. Results from this study showed that there was a low possibility of germline mutation in these three exons. Low rate of mutation in this report was concordance with the others.

Abstract
Background & Objective: Gastric cancer is the 2nd cause of cancer mortality after lung cancer. Approximately 12% of all cancer death are due to gastric cancer. Tumorgenesis is thought to be a multistep process involving a series of genetic changes in oncogenes and suppressor genes. The most common cancer-related genetic change known in human tumors is P53 mutation, particularly in gastric cancer. This study was done to determine P53 gene mutations in gastric cancer. Materials & Methods: This study was performed on 44 biopsy from patients with gastric cancer during 2002 in 3 hospitals in Tehran. For determination of P53 gene mutations was performed PCR-SSCP methods. Results: The patients group comprised 31 males and 13 females (Average age, 60.8 years Ranging from 34 to 84 years). 36 cases (81.8%) intestinal type, 5 cases (11.4%) were diffuse type and 3 cases no defined. 44 gastric cancers of gastric tissues were screened for the mutations of P53 gene mutations in exons 5-8 using the PCR-SSCP analysis. After polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, 9 patients (20.5%) showed an apparent electrophoretic mobility shift between the cancer and other normal samples. One mutation in exon 5 (11.1%), 2 were detected in exon 6 (22.2%), 3 were found in exon 7 (33.3%) and 3 were detected in exon 8 (33.3%). The mutation rate was 7 of 36 (21.2%) in intestinal type and 2 of (40%) in diffuse type. No significant correlation between P53 gene mutations and age and genus was found. Conclusion: This investigation showed the rate P53 gene mutation (20.5%) in gastric cancer in our society.
