PGS Sample Set (PSS): PSS003583

Phenotype All individuals were BRCA1 carriers. BRCA1 pathogenic variants were categorized according to their known or predicted effect on protein function: “class I” included loss-of-function variants expected to yield unstable or no protein; “class II” included variants likely to produce stable mutant proteins. Pathology data were obtained from pathology reviews, medical, pathology or tumor registry records, or immunohistochemical staining of tissue microarrays. All cases were individuals with prostate cancer.
