The Tyr978X BRCA1 mutation is a founder mutation detected in high-risk Iraqi-Iranian Jewish families as well as in the general non-Ashkenazi population. The same mutation was also reported in non-Jewish high-risk women from Canada. Its occurrence in non-Jewish individuals from Iran has never been tested.
