Identification of Eleven Novel BRCA Mutations in Tunisia: Impact on the Clinical Management of BRCA Related Cancers

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2021
BackgroundBreast cancer is the world’s most common cancer among women. It is becoming an increasingly urgent problem in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where a large fraction of women is diagnosed with advanced-stage disease and have no access ...

Pathology of Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2020
Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome is most commonly characterized by deleterious germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2. HBOC patients are prone to the development of malignant neoplasms in multiple organs including the breast, ovary ...

USP29‐regulated noncanonical stabilization of the hypoxia‐inducible factor‐α in aggressive prostate cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We identify USP29 as the only DUB mirroring CA9 expression, a marker of hypoxia and HIF pathway activation associated with PCA aggressiveness. USP29 stabilizes HIF‐1α and HIF‐2α via a noncanonical mechanism that is independent of PHD/pVHL activity yet relies on proteasomal regulation, establishing USP29 as a previously unrecognized regulator of hypoxic

A family history of breast cancer will not predict female early onset breast cancer in a population-based setting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
: BACKGROUND: An increased risk of breast cancer for relatives of breast cancer patients has been demonstrated in many studies, and having a relative diagnosed with breast cancer at an early age is an indication for breast cancer screening.

Response to Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in the treatment of hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC): a case report

open access: yesJournal of the Pakistan Medical Association
The co-occurrence of primary breast cancer and primary ovarian cancer is an exceptional hereditary phenomenon and results from inherent mutations in critical genes like BRCA1/2, PALB2, TP53, CHEK1, and ATM.

The Role of Genetic Mutations in the Prevention of Malignant Tumours in a Healthy Population (A Review)

open access: yesКреативная хирургия и онкология, 2020
The prevention of malignant neoplasms in a healthy population is a priority task of national healthcare systems.  Population screening and genetic counselling programmes allow identification of not only precancerous conditions,  but also a genetic ...

Germline variants in DNA repair genes associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome: analysis of a 21 gene panel in the Brazilian population

open access: yesBMC Medical Genomics, 2020
The Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (HBOC) occurs in families with a history of breast/ovarian cancer, presenting an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.

Finding novel vulnerabilities of hypomorphic BRCA1 alleles

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Synthetic lethality screens performed to identify novel vulnerabilities often model complete gene loss, thereby overlooking patient‐derived hypomorphic mutations. In this study, we have performed genome‐wide CRISPR screens on BRCA1 hypomorphic mutations, showing BRCA1I26A behaves like wild‐type, while BRCA1R1699Q mimics deficiency. Furthermore, we have

An oncologist-based model of cancer genetic counselling for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Background: We describe a multistep model of cancer genetic counselling designed to promote awareness, and disease surveillance and preventive measures for hereditary and familial breast and ovarian cancer.

Inhibition of cyclin‐dependent kinases 12/13 using CT7439 as a treatment for colorectal cancer with CDK12 upregulation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The proposed mechanism of action for the CDK12/13 inhibitor and cyclin K degrader, CT7439. CDK12/13 inhibition interrupts transcription elongation, leading to increased DNA damage that results in cell death. This agent is a potentially novel treatment option for patients with colorectal cancer. Created in BioRender. Cyclin‐dependent kinase (CDK) 12 and
