Genetic variants at chromosomes 2q35, 5p12, 6q25.1, 10q26.13, and 16q12.1 influence the risk of breast cancer in men. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2011
Male breast cancer accounts for approximately 1% of all breast cancer. To date, risk factors for male breast cancer are poorly defined, but certain risk factors and genetic features appear common to both male and female breast cancer.

Breast asymmetry and predisposition to breast cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Introduction It has been shown in our previous work that breast asymmetry is related to several of the known risk factors for breast cancer, and that patients with diagnosed breast cancer have more breast volume asymmetry, as measured from mammograms ...

Genetic variation in genes interacting with BRCA1/2 and risk of breast cancer in Cypriot population. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Inability to correctly repair DNA damage is known to play a role in the development of breast cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of DNA repair genes have been identified, which modify the DNA repair capacity, which in turn may affect the risk

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

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 ...

Association of genetic variants at 8q24 with breast cancer risk. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Recent whole genome association studies of prostate, breast, and colorectal cancer have identified susceptibility loci on 8q24. We genotyped three variants associated with prostate cancer (rs10090154, rs13254738, and rs7000448), one associated with both ...

Missense variants in ATM in 26,101 breast cancer cases and 29,842 controls. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
BACKGROUND: Truncating mutations in ATM have been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer but the effect of missense variants remains contentious.

Evaluation of CYP17A1 and CYP1B1 polymorphisms in male breast cancer risk

open access: yesEndocrine Connections, 2019
Breast cancer in men is a rare and still poorly characterized disease. Inherited mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2 and PALB2 genes, as well as common polymorphisms, play a role in male breast cancer genetic predisposition.

Sonographic Features of Palpable Breast and Axillary Lesions in Adult Male Patients: A Pictorial Essay

open access: yes대한영상의학회지, 2022
The male breast is a non-functional and rudimentary organ, but similarly to the female breast, it can be affected by various diseases. In contrast to female breast cancer, male breast cancer has a low incidence, and there is no established breast ...

Family history, genetic testing, and clinical risk prediction: pooled analysis of CHEK2 1100delC in 1,828 bilateral breast cancers and 7,030 controls. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
If breast cancers arise independently in each breast the odds ratio (OR) for bilateral breast cancer for carriers of CHEK2 1100delC should be approximately 5.5, the square of the reported OR for a first primary (OR, 2.34).

Uncommon Papillary Lesions in Human Breast-Rare Pathology [PDF]

open access: yesNational Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2017
Breast cancer is a lesion that usually affects female but the male community is not spared from being affected. The cause of male breast cancer is not clear but predisposing factors found are increased age over 50’s, family history of breast cancer ...
