Polygenic risk scores and breast and epithelial ovarian cancer risks for carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic variants [PDF]

, 2020
Purpose: We assessed the associations between population-based polygenic risk scores (PRS) for breast (BC) or epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) with cancer risks for BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic variant carriers. Methods: Retrospective cohort data on 18,

Hormone therapy (HT) in women with premature ovarian insufficiency or early menopause: Time to think of a new paradigm for healthy aging. A joint FIGO and IMS position paper

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and early menopause (EM) affect millions of women worldwide. Compared with normal menopause, they confer a longer duration of estrogen deficiency and are associated not only with a shorter lifespan, but with a reduced healthspan, owing to an increased risk of cardiovascular, skeletal, cognitive and ...

Frequency of BRCA1/2 mutations and the immunological profile of triple-negative breast cancer in young women: a systematic review

Известия высших учебных заведений. Поволжский регион: Медицинские науки
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in women ≤40 years old is characterized by aggressive behavior, a high frequency of BRCA mutations, and limited therapeutic options. The purpose of this study was to systematically review data on BRCA1/2 mutations and

Ovarian Cancer: Epidemiology, Disease Mechanisms, New Diagnosis and Treatment Strategies, and Research Directions

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ovarian cancer (OC) continues to be the deadliest gynecological malignancy and a significant cause of cancer‐related mortality among women worldwide. Standard treatment strategies typically entail platinum‐based chemotherapy in conjunction with cytoreductive surgery.

Periodontitis and breast cancer risk: A systematic review with meta‐epidemiological analysis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The association between periodontitis and breast cancer (BC) risk has been reported, but with considerable variability in effect estimates across studies. This meta‐epidemiological study aimed to systematically evaluate how methodological characteristics of primary studies influence these reported effect estimates.

CLINICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF HEREDITARY OVARIAN CANCER

Сибирский онкологический журнал, 2017
Germ-line mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are the most established risk factors for hereditary breast and ovarian cancers. The purpose of the study was to analyze BRCA1/2 testing in ovarian cancer patients. Materials and methods.

Double heterozygous pathogenic variants in BRCA2 and CHEK2 in a girl with adrenocortical carcinoma [PDF]

Exploration of Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases
Pediatric adrenocortical tumors (pACTs) are rare endocrine neoplasms with variable prognosis, commonly associated with germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in the tumor suppressor gene TP53. Here, we report the case of a 3.1-year-old female presenting with

Attitudes Toward Prenatal Interventions in the Fanconi Anemia Community

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective In‐utero cell and gene therapies may offer prenatal treatment options for inherited diseases. Preclinical data suggests in‐utero (IU) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) could prevent Fanconi anemia (FA) related bone marrow failure without genotoxic conditioning or immune suppression.

Counting potentially functional variants in BRCA1, BRCA2 and ATM predicts breast cancer susceptibility.

, 2007
Rare inactivating mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, TP53 and CHEK2 confer relative risks for breast cancer between about 2 and more than 10, but more common variants in these genes are generally considered of little or no clinical significance.
