BRCA1-mediated repression of select X chromosome genes

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2004
Recently BRCA1 has been implicated in the regulation of gene expression from the X chromosome. In this study the influence of BRCA1 on expression of X chromosome genes was investigated.

Modification ofBRCA1-Associated Breast and Ovarian Cancer Risk byBRCA1-Interacting Genes [PDF]

open access: yesCancer Research, 2011
AbstractInherited BRCA1 mutations confer elevated cancer risk. Recent studies have identified genes that encode proteins that interact with BRCA1 as modifiers of BRCA1-associated breast cancer. We evaluated a comprehensive set of genes that encode most known BRCA1 interactors to evaluate the role of these genes as modifiers of cancer risk.

BRCA1 and BRCA1 Genes and Inherited Breast and/or Ovarian Cancer: Benefits of Genetic Testing [PDF]

open access: yesIndian Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2010
The breast cancer associated genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 were discovered in 1994 and 1995 respectively. Since then in addition to our understanding how these proteins function in particular reference to DNA repair, enormous amount of knowledge has been gained regarding genetic epidemiology of inherited breast and ovarian cancer, mutation prevalence among ...

DNA Glycosylases Involved in Base Excision Repair May Be Associated with Cancer Risk in BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation Carriers. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in the DNA Base Excision Repair (BER) pathway could be associated with cancer risk in carriers of mutations in the high-penetrance susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2, given the relation of ...

Characterization of genetic predisposition to molecular subtypes of breast cancer in Brazilian patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2022
IntroductionBRCA1 and BRCA2 germline pathogenic variants (GPVs) account for most of the 5-10% of breast cancer (BC) that is attributable to inherited genetic variants.

BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes mutations among women with clinical signs of hereditary breast cancer in western Belarus

open access: yesJournal of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University: Series Medicine, 2021
Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. In the countries of Central and Eastern Europe founder mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are responsible for a significant proportion of breast cancer cases; however, regional ...

A comprehensive model for familial breast cancer incorporating BRCA1, BRCA2 and other genes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
In computing the probability that a woman is a BRCA1 or BRCA2 carrier for genetic counselling purposes, it is important to allow for the fact that other breast cancer susceptibility genes may exist.

A New de novo BRCA1 Mutation in a Young Breast Cancer Patient: A Case Report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
BACKGROUND BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes represent the most investigated breast and ovarian cancer predisposition genes. Ten cases of pathogenic de novo BRCA1 variations and six cases of pathogenic de novo BRCA2 variation have been reported at present.

Mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2 and other breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility genes in Central and South American populations

open access: yesBiological Research, 2017
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy among women worldwide. A major advance in the understanding of the genetic etiology of BC was the discovery of BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) genes, which are considered high-penetrance BC genes.

Transactivation of Repair Genes by BRCA1 [PDF]

open access: yesCancer Biology & Therapy, 2002
Recent studies have identified a link between the BRCA1 tumor suppressor and transcriptional regulation of a group of genes involved in nucleotide excision repair. There is some controversy regarding the precise mechanism of upregulation of XPE DDB2 or XPC by BRCA1, with some evidence suggesting that p53 is involved in their regulation.
