Establishing the frequency of BRCA1 mutation carriers and molecular pathways involved in ovarian cancer (OC) are important as it has been proposed that these patients might benefit from emerging chemotherapies, such as Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP) inhibitors. Here we report the frequency of BRCA1 mutations in OC cases found previously to recur in French Canadians (FC), a population exhibiting founder effects. We also report on genomic anomalies found in OC from mutation carriers. Mutation screening using PCR-based methods and/or a multiplex bead-array-based technology (Luminex) was largely limited to high-grade serous (HGSC) OCs. Approximately 5.7% (32/562) of mutation positive cases were identified in an analysis limited to the tw...
