Journal ArticleDOI
Germline mutations in DNA repair genes predispose asbestos-exposed patients to malignant pleural mesothelioma
Marta Betti,Elisabetta Casalone,Daniela Ferrante,Anna Aspesi,Giulia Morleo,Alessandra Biasi,Marika Sculco,Giuseppe Mancuso,Simonetta Guarrera,Luisella Righi,Federica Grosso,Roberta Libener,Mansueto Pavesi,Narciso Mariani,Caterina Casadio,Renzo Boldorini,Dario Mirabelli,Barbara Pasini,Corrado Magnani,Giuseppe Matullo,Irma Dianzani +20 more
TL;DR: It is shown that germline variants in several genes may increase MPM susceptibility in the presence of asbestos exposure and may be important for specific treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
CDKN2A and BAP1 germline mutations predispose to melanoma and mesothelioma.
Marta Betti,Anna Aspesi,Alessandra Biasi,Elisabetta Casalone,Daniela Ferrante,Paola Ogliara,Laura Cristina Gironi,Roberto Giorgione,Pamela Farinelli,Federica Grosso,Roberta Libener,S. Rosato,Daniela Turchetti,Antonella Maffè,C. Casadio,Valeria Ascoli,Chiara Dianzani,Enrico Colombo,E. Piccolini,M. Pavesi,Sara Miccoli,Dario Mirabelli,Cecilia Bracco,Luisella Righi,Renzo Boldorini,Mauro Papotti,Giuseppe Matullo,Corrado Magnani,Barbara Pasini,Irma Dianzani,Irma Dianzani +30 more
TL;DR: This study suggests that CDKN2A, in addition to BAP1, could be involved in the melanoma and mesothelioma susceptibility, leading to the rare familial cancer syndromes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Variants Associated with Increased Risk of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: A Genome-Wide Association Study

TL;DR: The results showed that genetic risk factors may play an additional role in the development of MPM, and that these should be taken into account to better estimate individual MPM risk in individuals who have been exposed to asbestos.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity to asbestos is increased in patients with mesothelioma and pathogenic germline variants in BAP1 or other DNA repair genes.
Marta Betti,Anna Aspesi,Daniela Ferrante,Marika Sculco,Luisella Righi,Dario Mirabelli,Francesca Napoli,Milena Rondón-Lagos,Elisabetta Casalone,Francesca Vignolo Lutati,Paola Ogliara,Paolo Bironzo,C.

Scagliotti,Corrado Magnani,Irma Dianzani +24 more
TL;DR: Cumulative asbestos exposure in 14 patients with MPM and pathogenic germline variants in BAP1, CDKN2A, or DNA repair genes with that of 67 patients without germline variant in 94 cancer‐predisposing genes is compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene-asbestos interaction in malignant pleural mesothelioma susceptibility.
Sara Tunesi,Daniela Ferrante,Dario Mirabelli,Silvano Andorno,Marta Betti,Giovanni Fiorito,Simonetta Guarrera,Elisabetta Casalone,Monica Neri,Donatella Ugolini,Stefano Bonassi,Giuseppe Matullo,Irma Dianzani,Corrado Magnani +13 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that gene-asbestos interaction may play an additional role on MPM susceptibility, given that asbestos exposure appears as the main risk factor.
