Limited Independent Follow-Up with Germline Testing of Variants Detected in BRCA1 and BRCA2 by Tumor-Only Sequencing [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Immunotherapy and Precision Oncology
Introduction Genomic profiling is performed in patients with advanced or metastatic cancer, in order to direct cancer treatment, often sequencing tumor-only, without a matched germline comparator.

BRCA2 polymorphic stop codon K3326X and the risk of breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: The K3326X variant in BRCA2 (BRCA2*c.9976A>T; p.Lys3326*; rs11571833) has been found to be associated with small increased risks of breast cancer.

Dramatic response to local radiotherapy in a refractory metastatic mediastinal yolk sac tumor patient harboring a germline BRCA2 frameshift mutation: a case report

open access: yesCancer Biology & Therapy, 2022
Mediastinal yolk sac tumors (YSTs) are highly aggressive germ cell tumors with an extremely poor prognosis. Radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of mediastinal YSTs. To maximize benefit from radiotherapy in patients with mediastinal YSTs,

PALB2 self-interaction controls homologous recombination. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
PALB2 is essential for BRCA2 anchorage to nuclear structures and for homologous recombinational repair of DNA double-strand breaks. Here, we report that the N-terminal coiled-coil motif of PALB2 regulates its self-association and homologous recombination.

A mitochondrial response to oxidative stress mediated by unscheduled RNA-DNA hybrids (R-loops)

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Oncology, 2021
How oxidative stress promotes aging-related human diseases like cancer and neurodegeneration remains unclear. Here, we discuss the origins and implications of an oxidative-stress response recently reported to destabilize the mitochondrial (mt) genome via

BRCA1/2 Expression Patterns in Different Grades of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma [PDF]

open access: yesMiddle East Journal of Cancer, 2020
Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and has a poor prognosis. The breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) and breast cancer 2 (BRCA2) genes are the key tumor suppressor genes responding in the cases of DNA damage ...

Founder mutations in Nepalese population [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Pathology and Translational Medicine, 2022
Background Founder mutation is a heritable genetic alteration observed with high frequency in a geographically and culturally isolated population where one or more ancestors becomes the forebearer of the altered gene.

Complex-based analysis of dysregulated cellular processes in cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Differential expression analysis of (individual) genes is often used to study their roles in diseases. However, diseases such as cancer are a result of the combined effect of multiple genes.

A Multicenter Study of Genotype Variation/Demographic Patterns in 2475 Individuals Including 1444 Cases With Breast Cancer in Turkey

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Breast Health, 2023
Objective:Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer type in women and may be inherited, mostly in an autosomal dominant pattern. The clinical diagnosis of BC relies on the published diagnostic criteria, and analysis of two genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2 ...
