BRCA1 Antibodies Matter [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biological Sciences, 2021
Breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) encodes a tumor suppressor that is frequently mutated in familial breast and ovarian cancer patients. BRCA1 functions in multiple important cellular processes including DNA damage repair, cell cycle checkpoint activation, protein ubiquitination, chromatin remodeling, transcriptional regulation, as well as R ...

RE: Universal tumor DNA BRCA1/2 testing of ovarian cancer: prescreening PARPi treatment and genetic predisposition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
BRCA1/2 mutations play a predictive role in ovarian cancer risk evaluation. Moreover , patients are today being tested for BRCA1/2 mutations to select a tailored therapy too , because they could benefit from a treatment with PARP inhibitors (PARPi ...

Attenuation of RNA polymerase II pausing mitigates BRCA1-associated R-loop accumulation and tumorigenesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Most BRCA1-associated breast tumours are basal-like yet originate from luminal progenitors. BRCA1 is best known for its functions in double-strand break repair and resolution of DNA replication stress.

Increased chromosomal radiosensitivity in asymptomatic carriers of a heterozygous BRCA1 mutation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Breast cancer risk increases drastically in individuals carrying a germline BRCA1 mutation. The exposure to ionizing radiation for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes of BRCA1 mutation carriers is counterintuitive, since BRCA1 is active in the

Specific binding of the methyl binding domain protein 2 at the BRCA1-NBR2 locus [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
The methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) proteins are key molecules in the interpretation of DNA methylation signals leading to gene silencing. We investigated their binding specificity at the constitutively methylated region of a CpG island containing the ...

Rapid Evolution of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in Humans and Other Primates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The maintenance of chromosomal integrity is an essential task of every living organism and cellular repair mechanisms exist to guard against insults to DNA.

Olaparib Combined with an ATR or Chk1 Inhibitor as a Treatment Strategy for Acquired Olaparib-Resistant BRCA1 Mutant Ovarian Cells

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2020
Objective: Despite the promise of PARP inhibitors (PARPi) for treating BRCA1/2 mutated ovarian cancer (OC), drug resistance invariably develops. We hypothesized rationale drug combinations, targeting key molecules in DNA repair pathways and the cell ...

Evidence for Diverse Prognosis in High-Grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma: Solid, Pseudoendometrioid, and Transitional-Like; So-Called "SET Morphology" and Progesterone Receptor Status

open access: yesTürk Patoloji Dergisi, 2022
Objective: High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) is one of the major tumors of the gynecological system with a poor survival rate and variable microscopic appearance.
