BRCA2 Hypomorphic Missense Variants Confer Moderate Risks of Breast Cancer.

Hermela Shimelis, +150 more
- 01 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: Results show how BRCA2 missense variants that influence protein function can confer clinically relevant, moderately increased risks of breast cancer, with potential implications for risk management guidelines in women with these specific variants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adiposity, metabolites, and colorectal cancer risk: Mendelian randomization study

Caroline J. Bull, +96 more
- 17 Dec 2020 - 
TL;DR: Adiposity was associated with numerous metabolic alterations, but none of these explained associations between adiposity and CRC, and it is suggested that higher BMI more greatly raises CRC risk among men, whereas higher WHR more greatly rises CRCrisk among women.
Journal ArticleDOI

A frame-shift mutation of PMS2 is a widespread cause of Lynch syndrome

TL;DR: A frequently occurring frame-shift mutation that arose around 1625 years ago is identified in 12 ostensibly unrelated Lynch syndrome patients and Ancestral analysis indicates that this mutation is enriched in individuals with British and Swedish ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Screening for genomic rearrangements of the MMR genes must be included in the routine diagnosis of HNPCC

TL;DR: It is shown that genomic rearrangements of MSH2 are involved in approximately 20% of the AMS+ HNPCC families without detectable point mutations within MSH 2 or MLH1, and this study was performed using quantitative multiplex PCR of short fluorescent fragments (QMPSF), which can easily detect heterozygous genomic deletions and duplications.
