Risks of Breast, Ovarian, and Contralateral Breast Cancer for BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation Carriers

Karoline Kuchenbaecker, +67 more
- 20 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: To estimate age-specific risks of breast, ovarian, and contralateral breast cancer for mutation carriers and to evaluate risk modification by family cancer history and mutation location, a large cohort study recruited in 1997-2011 provides estimates of cancer risk based on BRCA1 and BRCa2 mutation carrier status.
Journal ArticleDOI

The revised Ghent nosology for the Marfan syndrome

TL;DR: A revised Ghent nosology is established, which puts more weight on the cardiovascular manifestations and in which aortic root aneurysm and ectopia lentis are the cardinal clinical features and may delay a definitive diagnosis of MFS but will decrease the risk of premature or misdiagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple independent variants at the TERT locus are associated with telomere length and risks of breast and ovarian cancer

Stig E. Bojesen, +455 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: Using the Illumina custom genotyping array iCOGs, SNPs at the TERT locus in breast, ovarian and BRCA1 mutation carrier cancer cases and controls and leukocyte telomere measurements are analyzed to find associations cluster into three independent peaks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gain-of-function mutations in IFIH1 cause a spectrum of human disease phenotypes associated with upregulated type I interferon signaling

Gillian I. Rice, +56 more
- 01 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that aberrant sensing of nucleic acids can cause immune upregulation and heterozygous mutations in the cytosolic double-stranded RNA receptor gene IFIH1 (also called MDA5) cause a spectrum of neuroimmunological features consistently associated with an enhanced interferon state.
