Ploidy and Large-Scale Genomic Instability Consistently Identify Basal-like Breast Carcinomas with BRCA1/2 Inactivation

TL;DR: The genomic signature defined predicted BRCA1/2 inactivation in BLCs with 100% sensitivity and 90% specificity (97% accuracy) may ease the challenge of selecting patients for genetic testing or recruitment to clinical trials of novel emerging therapies that target DNA repair deficiencies in cancer.

Contribution of CDKN2A/P16 ( INK4A ), P14 (ARF), CDK4 and BRCA1/2 germline mutations in individuals with suspected genetic predisposition to uveal melanoma.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the CDKN2A/P16INK4A, P14ARF, CDK4 genes are not responsible for the vast majority of genetic susceptibility to uveal melanoma, and suggest that one case of uvea melanoma in a family with a history of breast cancer is not sufficient to justify BRCA1/2 genetic testing when the classical criteria for molecular analysis are not present.

germline mutations in individuals with suspected genetic predisposition to uveal melanoma

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the contribution of CDKN2A/P16INK4A, P14ARF and CDK4 gene germline mutations in a series of patients with uveal melanoma.
