Abstract

Ovarian cancer (OC) is an aggressive tumour that is usually diagnosed in an advanced stage. The presence of somatic and/or germinal mutations in the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 is known to be predictive of response to platinum agents and inhibitors of PARP (iPARP). Nevertheless, in recent years it has been shown that the efficacy can vary according to the specific mutation. In our community there is a high prevalence of patients (pts) carrying the BRCA1 c.211 A>G germline pathogenic variant, which is a founder mutation originated in the northwest of Spain.
