Linkage of a pedigree drawing program and database to a program for determining BRCA mutation carrier probability

Fam Cancer. 2005;4(4):313-6. doi: 10.1007/s10689-005-8849-y.

Abstract

An export module was developed for transferring primary relational pedigree data directly from a widely used pedigree program and relational database to the BRCAPRO program for calculation of BRCA gene mutation probability estimation.
