The primary aim of this study is to determine if mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 result in different precancerous pathways to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), as suggested in our validated mouse model. Genomic DNA will be isolated on normal tissue obtained from patients who underwent pancreatic resection for PDAC, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) or mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN). Tissue will be examined for the three most common founder mutations in Ashkenazi Jews. In the cases in which BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations are found, heterozygote normal and abnormal tissue will be examined to look for mutations in the other BRCA1 or BRCA2 allele. The interaction between other cancer causing genes with BRCA1/2 will also be evaluated by comparing the sequences of the other genes in pre-cancerous lesions.
