Method of analyzing a brca2 gene in a human subject

A method of analyzing exon 15 of a BRCA2 gene in a human patient comprising:

• obtaining nucleic acid from a sample from said patient;
• analyzing said nucleic acid to determine its nucleotide sequence;
• and
• using computer software to compare the nucleotide sequence of said nucleic acid to a standard sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:2.

A method of determining whether a human patient has a variation in exon 15 of a BRCA2 gene comprising:

• obtaining nucleic acid from a sample from said patient;
• analyzing said nucleic acid to determine its nucleotide sequence;
• and
• using computer software to compare the nucleotide sequence of said nucleic acid to a standard BRCA2 sequence;
• and
• reporting that a variation in the last 16 nucleotides of exon 15 as shown in positions 195 to 210 of SEQ ID NO:2 is a variation in exon 15 of said patient's BRCA2 gene.

A method of sequencing a BRCA2 gene in a human patient comprising:

• obtaining nucleic acid from a sample from said patient;
• analyzing said nucleic acid to determine its nucleotide sequence;
• and
• reporting that the nucleotide sequence of BRCA2 in said patient comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO:2.
