Common variants at 12p11, 12q24, 9p21, 9q31.2 and in ZNF365 are associated with breast cancer risk for BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 mutation carriers. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Several common alleles have been shown to be associated with breast and/or ovarian cancer risk for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers. Recent genome-wide association studies of breast cancer have identified eight additional breast cancer susceptibility ...

What Happens After Menopause (WHAM)? A Progress Report of a Prospective Controlled Study of Women After Pre‐Menopausal Risk‐Reducing Bilateral Salpingo‐Oophorectomy

open access: yesBJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Surgical menopause, the removal of both ovaries prior to natural menopause, may impact short‐and long‐term physical and emotional health. An increasingly common cause of surgical menopause is risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy (RRSO) in those at high inherited risk of ovarian cancer.

Brca2, Pds5 and Wapl differentially control cohesin chromosome association and function.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2018
The cohesin complex topologically encircles chromosomes and mediates sister chromatid cohesion to ensure accurate chromosome segregation upon cell division. Cohesin also participates in DNA repair and gene transcription. The Nipped-B-Mau2 protein complex

Risk of Cancer With Hormone Replacement Therapy: A Narrative Review

open access: yesBJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) remains the cornerstone of menopausal symptom management, effectively alleviating vasomotor symptoms and genitourinary syndrome, whilst mitigating long‐term risks such as osteoporosis. However, despite an increasing body of evidence on the relative safety of HRT, earlier studies that demonstrated an increased ...

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

Neoplastic Risk in Patients With Klinefelter Syndrome

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Besides gonadal involvement (hypogonadism, male factor infertility, and testicular hypotrophy), patients with Klinefelter syndrome (KS) may suffer from several extra‐gonadic complications, including neoplastic events. Objective The aim of this review is to summarize all major clinical evidence dealing with the association between KS

Gliomas with pleomorphic and pseudopapillary features (GPAP) are circumscribed tumors with targetable mutations, prolonged survival, and frequent tumor predisposition

open access: yesBrain Pathology, EarlyView.
DNA methylation profiling identifies GPAP as a distinct circumscribed glioma with a characteristic expansive, multicystic radiological appearance, pleomorphic and pseudopapillary histology, a recognizable CNV profile, druggable molecular alterations, and recurrent cancer predisposition syndromes.

Mutational analysis of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in women with familial breast cancer from different regions of Colombia

open access: yesHereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice, 2019
Purpose The main risk factor for familial breast cancer is the presence of mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The prevalence of mutations in these genes is heterogeneous and varies according to geographical origin of studied families.

Predicting the Pathogenic Potential of BRCA1 and BRCA2 Gene Variants Identified in Clinical Genetic Testing

open access: yesSultan Qaboos University Medical Journal, 2015
Objectives: Missense variants are very commonly detected when screening for mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Pathogenic mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes lead to an increased risk of developing breast, ovarian, prostate and/or pancreatic ...
