Association between the BRCA2 N372H variant and male breast cancer risk: a population-based case-control study in Tuscany, Central Italy
BMC Cancer, 2007 Background Male breast cancer (MBC) is a rare disease and little is known about its aetiology. Germ-line mutations of BRCA2 and, at lower frequency, of BRCA1 are implicated in a relatively small proportion of MBC cases.Caligo Maria, Rizzolo Piera, Ceroti Marco, D'Amico Cristina, Saieva Calogero, Sera Francesco, Lupi Ramona, Masala Giovanna, Falchetti Mario, Palli Domenico, Zanna Ines, Ottini Laura +11 moredoaj +1 more sourceRestoration age, distance from reference ecosystems, and host plant feeding guilds shape the diversity of frugivorous butterflies in ecological restoration areas in the Atlantic Forest
Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.Abstract Introduction
The fragmentation of the Atlantic Forest has caused severe biodiversity loss. In Paraná State, more than 96% of the original vegetation, predominantly semideciduous seasonal forest, has been degraded. Ecological restoration is a key strategy to reverse this scenario, aiming to recover environmental conditions equivalent to the ...Julia Sebben, Fernando Maia Silva Dias, Gabriel Lima Medina Rosa, Mateus Henrique da Silva Borges, Lucas Mastellini Theodoro +4 morewiley +1 more sourceBreast cancer risk and 6q22.33: combined results from Breast Cancer Association Consortium and Consortium of Investigators on Modifiers of BRCA1/2.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Recently, a locus on chromosome 6q22.33 (rs2180341) was reported to be associated with increased breast cancer risk in the Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) population, and this association was also observed in populations of non-AJ European ancestry.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract
The stability hypothesis posits that stable environments provide species with predictable resources, where mechanisms that limit similarity, such as competition, are able to drive niche specialization and shape community composition. By contrast, variable and unpredictable environments are expected to allow only those species with appropriate ...María F. Checa, David A.

PLoS ONE, 2016 Population-based genome wide association studies have identified a locus at 9p22.2 associated with ovarian cancer risk, which also modifies ovarian cancer risk in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers.Elena Vigorito, Karoline B Kuchenbaecker, Jonathan Beesley, Julian Adlard, Bjarni A Agnarsson, Irene L Andrulis, Banu K Arun, Laure Barjhoux, Muriel Belotti, Javier Benitez, Andreas Berger, Anders Bojesen, Bernardo Bonanni, Carole Brewer, Trinidad Caldes, Maria A Caligo, Ian Campbell, Salina B Chan, Kathleen B M Claes, David E Cohn, Jackie Cook, Mary B Daly, Francesca Damiola, Rosemarie Davidson, Antoine de Pauw, Capucine Delnatte, Orland Diez, Susan M Domchek, Martine Dumont, Katarzyna Durda, Bernd Dworniczak, Douglas F Easton, Diana Eccles, Christina Edwinsdotter Ardnor, Ros Eeles, Bent Ejlertsen, Steve Ellis, D Gareth Evans, Lidia Feliubadalo, Florentia Fostira, William D Foulkes, Eitan Friedman, Debra Frost, Pragna Gaddam, Patricia A Ganz, Judy Garber, Vanesa Garcia-Barberan, Marion Gauthier-Villars, Andrea Gehrig, Anne-Marie Gerdes, Sophie Giraud, Andrew K Godwin, David E Goldgar, Christopher R Hake, Thomas V O Hansen, Sue Healey, Shirley Hodgson, Frans B L Hogervorst, Claude Houdayer, Peter J Hulick, Evgeny N Imyanitov, Claudine Isaacs, Louise Izatt, Angel Izquierdo, Lauren Jacobs, Anna Jakubowska, Ramunas Janavicius, Katarzyna Jaworska-Bieniek, Uffe Birk Jensen, Esther M John, Joseph Vijai, Beth Y Karlan, Karin Kast, KConFab Investigators, Sofia Khan, Ava Kwong, Yael Laitman, Jenny Lester, Fabienne Lesueur, Annelie Liljegren, Jan Lubinski, Phuong L Mai, Siranoush Manoukian, Sylvie Mazoyer, Alfons Meindl, Arjen R Mensenkamp, Marco Montagna, Katherine L Nathanson, Susan L Neuhausen, Heli Nevanlinna, Dieter Niederacher, Edith Olah, Olufunmilayo I Olopade, Kai-Ren Ong, Ana Osorio, Sue Kyung Park, Ylva Paulsson-Karlsson, Inge Sokilde Pedersen, Bernard Peissel, Paolo Peterlongo, Georg Pfeiler, Catherine M Phelan, Marion Piedmonte, Bruce Poppe, Miquel Angel Pujana, Paolo Radice, Gad Rennert, Gustavo C Rodriguez, Matti A Rookus, Eric A Ross, Rita Katharina Schmutzler, Jacques Simard, Christian F Singer, Thomas P Slavin, Penny Soucy, Melissa Southey, Doris Steinemann, Dominique Stoppa-Lyonnet, Grzegorz Sukiennicki, Christian Sutter, Csilla I Szabo, Muy-Kheng Tea, Manuel R Teixeira, Soo-Hwang Teo, Mary Beth Terry, Mads Thomassen, Maria Grazia Tibiletti, Laima Tihomirova, Silvia Tognazzo, Elizabeth J van Rensburg, Liliana Varesco, Raymonda Varon-Mateeva, Athanassios Vratimos, Jeffrey N Weitzel, Lesley McGuffog, Judy Kirk, Amanda Ewart Toland, Ute Hamann, Noralane Lindor, Susan J Ramus, Mark H Greene, Fergus J Couch, Kenneth Offit, Paul D P Pharoah, Georgia Chenevix-Trench, Antonis C Antoniou +145 moredoaj +1 more sourceBehavioural responses to radio‐tag attachment in butterflies: Evidence for active tag removal
