Deletion of chromosomes 13q and 14q is a common feature of tumors with BRCA2 mutations.
IntroductionGermline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations account for 20-30% of familial clustering of breast cancer. The main indication for BRCA2 screening is currently the family history but the yield of mutations identified in patients selected this way is low ...

BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in a population-based study of male breast cancer [PDF]
Background: The contribution of BRCA1 and BRCA2 to the incidence of male breast cancer (MBC) in the United Kingdom is not known, and the importance of these genes in the increased risk of female breast cancer associated with a family history of breast ...

Identification of the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA2 [PDF]
In Western Europe and the United States approximately 1 in 12 women develop breast cancer. A small proportion of breast cancer cases, in particular those arising at a young age, are attributable to a highly penetrant, autosomal dominant predisposition to the disease.

Role of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genes Relative to Previous Studies in Pakistan in the Prognosis of Breast Cancer [PDF]
Breast cancer is a complex disease characterized by a myriad of genetic alterations. Single nucleotide polymorphisms are particularly relevant due to small allelic variations.

Effects of BRCA2 cis-regulation in normal breast and cancer risk amongst BRCA2 mutation carriers [PDF]
<p>Introduction: Cis-acting regulatory single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at specific loci may modulate penetrance of germline mutations at the same loci by introducing different levels of expression of the wild-type allele.

BRCA1 and BRCA2 as ovarian cancer susceptibility genes [PDF]
Individuals carrying germline mutations in one allele of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes are at significantly increased risk of developing cancer. Although the increased risk of breast cancer is often highlighted, cancer at several other sites is also considerably more common in these individuals.

BRCA1/2 Expression Patterns in Different Grades of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and has a poor prognosis. The breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) and breast cancer 2 (BRCA2) genes are the key tumor suppressor genes responding in the cases of DNA damage ...
