Hereditary Breast Cancer [PDF]
Information on genetics is in process of exponential growth, with a corresponding recognition that most medical information, screening and diagnostic tests, and disease processes have a genetic component. Hereditary breast cancer is a good example, showing the complexity of cancer genetics in a clinical context.

Genetic predisposition is responsible for 5–10% of all breast cancer, and a much larger percent of early-onset disease. Within the past few years, a number of genes associated with a high risk of breast cancer have been identified, including BRCA1, BRCA2, p53, and the Cowden disease gene PTEN/MMAC1. These genes appear to function as tumor suppressors,

Ten million new cases of a cancer and more than 6,2 million death from diseases of this group are registered annually in the world. From 5 to 40% of malignant new growths of all anatomic localizations have a hereditary etiology, and this percent increases in connection with growth of the general incidence.

Multi-gene panel testing for hereditary cancer predisposition in unsolved high-risk breast and ovarian cancer patients. [PDF]
PurposeMany women with an elevated risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer have previously tested negative for pathogenic mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2. Among them, a subset has hereditary susceptibility to cancer and requires further testing.

Background There is no international consensus up to which age women with a diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and no family history of breast or ovarian cancer should be offered genetic testing for germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 (gBRCA ...

Deregulated miRNAs in hereditary breast cancer revealed a role for miR-30c in regulating KRAS oncogene. [PDF]
Aberrant miRNA expression has been previously established in breast cancer and has clinical relevance. However, no studies so far have defined miRNAs deregulated in hereditary breast tumors.
