BRCA1 A-Complex fine tunes repair functions of BRCA1
Germline mutations in BRCA1 increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, but the specific pathways driving breast and ovarian cancer development in BRCA1 mutants are currently unclear [1]. Several studies have demonstrated that BRCA1 is required for cellular responses to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and homologous recombination (HR), although its

Log odds of carrying an Ancestral Mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 for a defined personal and family history in an Ashkenazi Jewish woman (LAMBDA) [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Ancestral mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 are common in people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent and are associated with a substantially increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

KDM7A and KDM1A inhibition suppresses tumour promoting pathways in prostate cancer
Treatment resistance is a major challenge for patients with advanced prostate cancer. This study examined an alternative approach to target the major prostate cancer‐promoting pathway by targeting epigenetic factors, whose levels are higher in tumours.

BRCA1-Mediated Ubiquitylation [PDF]
The BRCA1 tumour suppressor and its heterodimeric partner BARD1 play crucial roles in coordinating cellular responses to DNA damage. Evidence also implicates these proteins in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and meiotic sex chromosome inactivation, but their mode of action remains elusive.

Men's decision-making about predictive BRCA1/2 testing: the role of family [PDF]
Men who have a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer may be offered a predictive genetic test to determine whether or not they carry the family specific BRCA1/2 mutation.

Loss of IGF‐1R impairs DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin leading to defective end‐joining
IGF‐1R promotes radioresistance by facilitating DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin, enabling non‐homologous end‐joining (NHEJ) repair of double‐strand breaks. Inhibition or loss of IGF‐1R disrupts this recruitment to damage sites, driving compensatory reliance on microhomology‐mediated end‐joining (MMEJ) repair.

BRCA1/2 associated cancer susceptibility: a clinical overview
The most frequently identified genetic cause of breast cancer is the germline mutation of BRCA1 and 2 genes. The carriers of these mutations are at high risk for breast and ovarian cancers and increased risk for pancreatic and prostate cancers.

Developing a community-based breast cancer risk prediction tool for resource-poor settings
BACKGROUND: With an estimation of every two women newly diagnosed with breast cancer, one dies. It is accounted that 1 in 28 women is likely to develop breast cancer during her lifetime.
