“…However, the majority of the published mutations are reported for patients from the UK, USA and China [Bignell et al, 2000;Lv et al, 2008;Ying et al, 2012;Liang et al, 2008;Zheng et al, 2004;Chen et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2010;Zuo et al, 2007]. Recurrent mutations have been detected in patients living in geographically distant regions: the c.1112C/A p.S371X nonsense mutation was identified in Irish, African American, Slovakian and Chinese patients [Bowen et al, 2005;Linos et al, 2011;Lv et al, 2008 ; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 11 Kacerovska et al, 2013] and the c.2806C/T p.R936X nonsense mutation was detected in Canadian, American, Anglo-Saxon and Hungarian patients [Bignell et al, 2000;Bowen et al, 2005;Nagy et al, 2013].…”
