Q2 ; Q1 ; Editorial ; 155-156 ; To the editorAbout 5% of breast cancers and 10% of ovariancancers are a result of germ line mutations in theBRCA1(MIM 113705) andBRCA2(MIM 600185)genes [1,2].

PARP-1 regulates DNA repair factor availability. [PDF]
PARP-1 holds major functions on chromatin, DNA damage repair and transcriptional regulation, both of which are relevant in the context of cancer. Here, unbiased transcriptional profiling revealed the downstream transcriptional profile of PARP-1 enzymatic

Niraparib in ovarian cancer. results to date and clinical potential [PDF]
Ovarian cancer is the first cause of death from gynaecological malignancy. Germline mutation in BRCA1 and 2, two genes involved in the mechanisms of reparation of DNA damage, are showed to be related with the incidence of breast and ovarian cancer, both ...

A theory for the tissue specificity of BRCA1/2 related and other hereditary cancers [PDF]
Women who inherit a defective BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene have risks for breast and ovarian cancer that are so high and seem so selective that many mutation carriers choose to have prophylactic surgery. There has been much conjecture to explain such apparently

Reproductive Issues for Women With BRCA Mutations [PDF]
Women carrying BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations face difficult and confusing reproductive decisions that fall into three categories: issues relating to risk-reducing surgeries, issues relating to use of oral contraceptives/tubal ligation, and issues relating to pregnancy and breastfeeding.
