Sequence Variants of BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genes in Four Iranian Families with Breast and Ovarian Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Public Health, 2011
Background: BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes have been recognized to be responsible for 20-30% of hereditary breast can­cers and approximately 50% of familial breast and ovarian cancers.

Recurrent Germline BRCA2 Gene Mutation in Lithuanian Family [PDF]

open access: yesMedicina, 2020
Approximately 10% of all breast cancer (BC) cases are familial and caused by inheritance of mutant BRCA1, BRCA2, or some other genes from the same DNA reparation pathway. Genetic counseling in families with cancer history is a powerful means for early cancer detection and active risk reduction through preventive interventions.

Absence of rearrangements in the BRCA2 gene in human cancers [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Cancer, 2001
Mutations of BRCA2 in sporadic breast and ovarian carcinomas are exceedingly rare. This led to the suggestion that large genomic rearrangements could be involved. We performed Southern blots in genomic DNA from 130 primary breast cancers and 83 cancer cell lines (breast, ovarian, pancreatic and small cell lung carcinomas) and found no genomic ...

Genetic Variation of The BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genes in Macedonian Patients [PDF]

open access: yesBalkan Journal of Medical Genetics, 2012
ABSTRACT The most significant and well characterized genetic risk factors for breast and/or ovarian cancer are germline mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations strikingly increase breast cancer risk, suggesting that polymorphisms in these genes are logical candidates in seeking to identify low penetrance ...

BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in a population-based study of male breast cancer

open access: yes, 2001
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 ...

Genome-Wide Association Study in BRCA1 Mutation Carriers Identifies Novel Loci Associated with Breast and Ovarian Cancer Risk [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BRCA1-associated breast and ovarian cancer risks can be modified by common genetic variants. To identify further cancer risk-modifying loci, we performed a multi-stage GWAS of 11,705 BRCA1 carriers (of whom 5,920 were diagnosed with breast and 1,839 were

A new vulnerability to BET inhibition due to enhanced autophagy in BRCA2 deficient pancreatic cancer

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2023
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in human malignancies. Among total pancreatic cancer patients, ~10% of patients are categorized as familial pancreatic cancer (FPC) patients, carrying germline mutations of the genes involved in DNA ...

Expression of BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genes in Patients Undergoing Transrectal Prostate Biopsy

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Cancerologia
Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common type of cancer among the male population. Men carrying mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are known to have a greater risk of developing PCa.
