(exclusive from group 1) and FOXP1 and BLM genes (exclusive from group<br />

2), all involved in genomic gains, may contribute to tumor <strong>de</strong>velopment. The<br />

familial member analysis, specific rare and new rare CNVs mapped on<br />

specific genes as well as microRNAs were candidates to be associated<br />

breast and colorectal cancer predisposition. Loss at ROBO1 gene was<br />

observed in two patients (group 1 and 2) and in their affected relatives. This<br />

alteration was confirmed by qPCR. In addition, weak ROBO1 protein<br />

imunoexpression was associated with worse prognosis in hereditary breast<br />

and colorectal tumors. In overall, these results sugest the involvement of<br />

specific genomic alterations in hereditary breast and colorectal cancer<br />

predisposition.
