Where Can I Find Mutation Databases Specialized In Cancer?

I need mutated breast cancer genes for my analysis. So I'm bit confused whether there is an existing database which consists of sequences having mutations in it. Is there any database to get the mutated & non-mutated gene sequence?

Here are some related resources that are focused on somatic mutations in cancer:

DOCM - Database of Curated Mutations

CIViC - Clinical Interpretation of Variants in Cancer

BioStars post: CIViC - Clinical Interpretation of Variants in Cancer

BioStars post: Exploring cancer mutation data portals

Here is another generally relevant post: Database Of Tumor Suppressors And/Or Oncogenes

I'd suggest starting with COSMIC and ICGC.

Thank you SEAN but, it doesn't contain information for many other genes like BRCA1 & BRCA2

The databases I noted above are about somatic mutation, not germline mutation. Were you looking for somatic mutation databases or germline variants?

Dear Sean I'm looking for Ashkenazi mutations database 187_189delAG and 5382insC in BRCA1and 6174delT in BRCA2.

Hi Sean, Does COSMIC have the information about somatic mutation ? Can you please point to the URL. I only found information at the gene level (cancer consensus genes). Thank you !!

Here are few such databases:

Thnaks RAUNAK, but I didn't find any database about 187_189delAG and 5382insC in BRCA1and 6174delT in BRCA2.

Perhaps not a direct answer, but take a look at:

cBioPortal has mutation data for different cancer types including breast.
