Inherited Mutations in Women With Ovarian Carcinoma

TL;DR: To determine the frequency and importance of germline mutations in cancer-associated genes in OC, a study population of 1915 women with OC and available germline DNA was identified and mutations were compared with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute GO Exome Sequencing Project (ESP) and the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC).
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with BRCA1 or RAD51C methylated versus mutated ovarian carcinoma.

TL;DR: Patients with BRCA1-methylated carcinomas share clinical characteristics with patients with BEC1-mutated carcinoma including younger age and predominantly HGS histology, however, unlike mutation, RAD51C and BRCa1 methylation were not associated with improved survival or greater sensitivity to platinum chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and homologous recombination deficiency are independently associated with improved survival in ovarian carcinoma.

TL;DR: Patients that have both CD3+ TILs and HRD OC are afforded the greatest improvement in overall survival, and this finding may have therapeutic implications for OC patients treated with emerging immunotherapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

BRCA1 Promoter Methylation and Clinical Outcomes in Ovarian Cancer: An Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis.

TL;DR: BRCA 1-methylated OC displays similar clinico-pathological features to BRCA1-mutated OC, but is not associated with survival.
