Mapping genetic interactions in cancer: a road to rational combination therapies. [PDF]
The discovery of synthetic lethal interactions between poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors and BRCA genes, which are involved in homologous recombination, led to the approval of PARP inhibition as a monotherapy for patients with BRCA1/2 ...

BRCA1 and BRCA2 Gene Mutations Screening In Sporadic Breast Cancer Patients In Kazakhstan.
Background: A large number of distinct mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes have been reported worldwide, but little is known regarding the role of these inherited susceptibility genes in breast cancer risk among Kazakhstan women.

How BRCA1 deficiency affects emergency granulopoeisis in cells [PDF]
BRCA1 mutation carriers are predisposed to breast and ovarian cancer. Chemotherapy is a common treatment used in breast cancer patients. However, chemotherapy can cause damage to bone marrow.

A family history of breast cancer will not predict female early onset breast cancer in a population-based setting [PDF]
: BACKGROUND: An increased risk of breast cancer for relatives of breast cancer patients has been demonstrated in many studies, and having a relative diagnosed with breast cancer at an early age is an indication for breast cancer screening.

Breast Cancer Gene, BRCA1 and BRCA2
Hereditary predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer and responsible for autosomal-dominant transmission, most commonly due to germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 has been recognized for many years. Hereditary breast cancer is characterized by early age at onset, bilaterality, vertical transmission through both maternal and paternal lines, and ...

Testing for the breast cancer predisposition gene, BRCA1 [PDF]
Each year there are 27 768 cases of breast cancer and 5100 cases of ovarian cancer in Britain.1 Most of these cases will be sporadic, in which genetic changes occur only within cancer cells. However, in rare instances a genetic change will have been inherited.

DNA methylation can mimic the effects of both germline and somatic mutations for cancer predisposition genes such as BRCA1 and p16INK4a. Constitutional DNA methylation of the BRCA1 promoter has been well described and is associated with an increased risk
