• Discuss how alternate splicing can complicate the study of mutations in the BRCA1gene.
• Distinguish between a hereditary germline cancer, such as those caused by BRCA1mutations, and cancers that result from two somatic mutations in the same gene in the same cell.
• Explain how mutations in the same gene can cause different types of cancer.
