New mechanism of BRCA-1 mutation by deletion/insertion at the same nucleotide position in three unrelated French breast/ovarian cancer families.

abstract：:Bone size (BS) is one of the major risk factors for osteoporotic fractures. BS variation is genetically determined to a substantial degree with heritability over 50%, but specific genes underlying variation of BS are still largely unknown. To identify specific genes for BS in Chinese, initial genome-wide association s...
