In two BRCA1/2-negative high-risk families with breast cancer in several generations, candidate genes were filtered out and validated by means of segregation analyzes. Subsequently 149 BRCA1/2-negative DNAs were examined for a mutation in the candidate gene AEBP1. At the same time, exome sequencing was carried out on additional 874 patients to search for mutations in AEBP1 and another candidate gene (ACTL7A). A digene inheritance has been shown in a large family, identifying two moderate candidate genes for larger validation studies.
