Ovarian cancer (OC) constitutes the most lethal gynaecological cancer in Canada. In the French Canadian (FC) population of Quebec, common founders have contributed to the emergence of recurrent mutations in the breast and OC susceptibility gene, BRCA2, with mutations conferring a significantly increased risk for OC. In 1999, our group reported that four recurrent BRCA2 mutations accounted for 3% of FC OC patients not selected for family history of disease. However, due to subsequent expansion of the known FC founder mutation spectrum and increased insight into OC histopathology, the present study hypothesized that the 3% carrier frequency was an underestimate. This thesis had two objectives: i) to assess whether mutations recurring among FC...
