Journal ArticleDOI

Breast and ovarian cancer risks due to inherited mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2.

TL;DR: Physical exercise and lack of obesity in adolescence were associated with significantly delayed breast cancer onset, and risks appear to be increasing with time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spectrum of mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, and TP53 in families at high risk of breast cancer.

TL;DR: Among patients with breast cancer and severe family histories of cancer who test negative (wild type) for BRCA1 and BRCa2, approximately 12% can be expected to carry a large genomic deletion or duplication in one of these genes, and approximately 5% could carry a mutation in CHEK2 or TP53.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of inherited mutations for breast and ovarian cancer using genomic capture and massively parallel sequencing

TL;DR: A genomic assay to capture, sequence, and detect all mutations in 21 genes, including BRCA1 and BRCa2, with inherited mutations that predispose to breast or ovarian cancer, which enables widespread genetic testing and personalized risk assessment for breast and ovarian cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of Inherited Mutations in the BRCA2-Interacting Protein PALB2 to Familial Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Given this mutation prevalence and risk, consideration might be given to clinical testing of PALB2 by complete genomic sequencing for familial breast cancer patients with wild-type sequences at BRCA1 and BRCa2.
