Cancer variation associated with the position of the mutation in the BRCA2 gene [PDF]

Familial Cancer, 2004
Inherited mutations of the BRCA2 gene give rise to a multi-site cancer phenotype which includes breast cancer (in female and males), ovarian, pancreatic and prostate cancer, ocular and other melanomas, laryngeal, colon and stomach cancers. Interpretation of test results and risk assessment is therefore complex.

Germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations and the risk of bladder or kidney cancer in Poland

Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice, 2022
Introduction The role of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in bladder and renal tumorigenesis is unclear. Our goal was to determine the prevalence of specific founder mutations genes BRCA1 (5328 insC, C61G and 4153 delA) and BRCA2 (C5972T) mutations in bladder ...

Prevention of Early Onset of Breast Cancer With Ashwagandha

Molecular Carcinogenesis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prevention of breast cancer is feasible because many risk factors for this malignancy are known (e.g., family history, reproductive factors, etc.). Medicinal plants and/or their bioactive phytochemicals are attractive for the prevention of early onset of breast cancer due to their generally favorable safety profile.

Properties of the Tumor Suppressor Gene Brca2 in the Cat

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2003
Mammary tumors are common in cats. As mutations in human Brca2 confer an increased risk of breast cancer, the full-length cDNA of the feline homologue of Brca2 was sequenced to obtain a basis for studying the relationship between its function and susceptibility to mammary tumors. The feline Brca2 cDNA is 10 kb long, and encodes 3,371 amino acids.

Attitudes Toward Prenatal Interventions in the Fanconi Anemia Community

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective In‐utero cell and gene therapies may offer prenatal treatment options for inherited diseases. Preclinical data suggests in‐utero (IU) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) could prevent Fanconi anemia (FA) related bone marrow failure without genotoxic conditioning or immune suppression.

A common SNP in the UNG gene decreases ovarian cancer risk in BRCA2 mutation carriers

Molecular Oncology, 2019
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA glycosylase genes involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway can modify breast and ovarian cancer risk in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers.

GenProb‐PCSM: A Simplified Weighted Germline Score for Prostate Cancer‐Specific Mortality

The Prostate, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We previously developed a tier‐based germline classification using the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)‐recommended DNA damage repair (DDR) genes and KLK3 I179T to predict prostate cancer (PCa)‐specific mortality (PCSM).

Impact of sleep insufficiency and recovery on cancer development

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Sleep plays a critical role in overall health, and modern lifestyles, such as shift work and late‐night activities, can significantly impact sleep condition. Insufficient sleep has been associated with various adverse health outcomes, including an increased risk of tumor development.

The androgen receptor CAG repeat polymorphism and modification of breast cancer risk in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers [PDF]

, 2004
<p>Introduction: The androgen receptor (AR) gene exon 1 CAG repeat polymorphism encodes a string of 9–32 glutamines. Women with germline BRCA1 mutations who carry at least one AR allele with 28 or more repeats have been reported to have an earlier ...

Differentiating high‐ and low‐grade serous ovarian carcinoma using radiomics: a pilot study

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify ultrasound‐based radiomics features capable of distinguishing between high‐grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGSC) and invasive low‐grade serous ovarian carcinomas (LGSC), and to develop machine‐learning models that include radiomics features to discriminate between the two.
