Identification of novel BRCA2-binding proteins that are essential for meiotic homologous recombination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Meiotic recombination is a molecular process in which the induction and repair of programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) creates genetic exchange between homologous chromosomes and thus increases genetic diversity and ensures chromosome segregation ...

Effects of BRCA2 cis-regulation in normal breast and cancer risk amongst BRCA2 mutation carriers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
<p>Introduction: Cis-acting regulatory single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at specific loci may modulate penetrance of germline mutations at the same loci by introducing different levels of expression of the wild-type allele.

A comprehensive model for familial breast cancer incorporating BRCA1, BRCA2 and other genes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
In computing the probability that a woman is a BRCA1 or BRCA2 carrier for genetic counselling purposes, it is important to allow for the fact that other breast cancer susceptibility genes may exist.

DNA Glycosylases Involved in Base Excision Repair May Be Associated with Cancer Risk in BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation Carriers. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in the DNA Base Excision Repair (BER) pathway could be associated with cancer risk in carriers of mutations in the high-penetrance susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2, given the relation of ...

BRCA1/2 associated cancer susceptibility: a clinical overview

open access: yesForum of Clinical Oncology, 2016
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.

Targeting the NPL4 Adaptor of p97/VCP Segregase by Disulfiram as an Emerging Cancer Vulnerability Evokes Replication Stress and DNA Damage while Silencing the ATR Pathway

open access: yesCells, 2020
Research on repurposing the old alcohol-aversion drug disulfiram (DSF) for cancer treatment has identified inhibition of NPL4, an adaptor of the p97/VCP segregase essential for turnover of proteins involved in multiple pathways, as an unsuspected cancer ...

Promotion Effects of Smoking in Polyp Development in Monozygotic Twins with Atypical Colorectal Polyposis

open access: yesCase Reports in Gastroenterology, 2022
Smoking is a known risk factor for the development of colorectal polyps. Even in familial adenomatous polyposis and serrated polyposis syndrome, smoking is a risk factor of the development of polyps.

The androgen receptor CAG repeat polymorphism and modification of breast cancer risk in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
<p>Introduction: The androgen receptor (AR) gene exon 1 CAG repeat polymorphism encodes a string of 9–32 glutamines. Women with germline BRCA1 mutations who carry at least one AR allele with 28 or more repeats have been reported to have an earlier ...
