Interestingly, increased susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancer in the general population and in carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations was mapped down to 13 polymorphisms at 19p13.1 mapping to non-coding regions in the human LEM-3 homolog Ankle1 and a second gene ABHD8, encoding for a alpha beta hydrolase domain13–15. Here, BRCA1 is linked to ovarian cancer.
