Journal ArticleDOI

Localization of the gene for distal hereditary motor neuronopathy VII (dHMN-VII) to chromosome 2q14.

TL;DR: A genomewide linkage search in a large Welsh pedigree with dHMN-VII was performed and linkage to chromosome 2q14 was established, confirming the location of the gene and providing evidence for a founder mutation segregating in both pedigrees.
Journal ArticleDOI

Managing hereditary ovarian cancer risk

TL;DR: The identification of the genes responsible for most hereditary ovarian cancers (BRCA1, BRCA2) means oophorectomy can be offered specifically to women who are mutation carriers, and noncarriers in these families can be reassured that their risk of ovarian cancer is not increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

K-ras mutations in Müllerian inclusion cysts associated with serous borderline tumors of the ovary.

TL;DR: The presence of identical K-ras mutations in some SBOT and their associated MIC suggests that they are related processes, which may arise due to a field effect, or alternatively some MIC may represent metastases from the primary ovarian tumor.
