Mutation Analysis of the BRCA1 Gene in Ovarian Cancers
Hiroyuki Takahashi,Kian Behbakht,Patricia E. McGovern,Hsiu Chiang Chiu,Fergus J. Couch,Barbara L. Weber,Lori Friedman,Mary Claire King,Masakuni Furusato,Virginia A. LiVolsi,Andrew W. Menzin,Paul C. Liu,Ivor Benjamin,Mark A. Morgan,Stephanie A. King,Beth Ann Rebane,Annmarie Cardonick,John J. Mikuta,Stephen C. Rubin,Jeff Boyd +19 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that BRCA1 mutations are involved in the etiology of hereditary ovarian carcinomas but occur rarely in sporadic tumors, and that the frequent allelic loss on chromosome 17q in this cancer type reflects the involvement of an additional tumor suppressor gene(s), is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutation of MSH3 in endometrial cancer and evidence for its functional role in heteroduplex repair.
TL;DR: The data suggest that the MSH3 gene encodes a product that functions in repair of some but not all pre-mutational intermediates, its mutation in tumours can result in genomic instability and, as in yeast, MSH 3 and MSH6 are partially redundant for mismatch repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
BRCA1, BRCA2, and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer gene mutations in an unselected ovarian cancer population: Relationship to family history and implications for genetic testing
Stephen C. Rubin,M. Anne Blackwood,Christina A. Bandera,Kian Behbakht,Ivor Benjamin,Timothy R. Rebbeck,Jeff Boyd +6 more
TL;DR: The majority of ovarian cancer patients with suggestive family histories test negative for known gene mutations, perhaps suggesting the existence of additional undiscovered genes predisposing to ovarian cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in phobias: Results of the ECA community survey
Journal ArticleDOI
The p53 tumor suppressor gene frequently is altered in gynecologic cancers.
TL;DR: Although mutation and overexpression of p53 rarely occur in cancers of the cervix, vulva, and vagina, it has been shown that human papillomavirus E6 oncoproteins bind to and inactivate p53 protein.
