Association of PHB 1630 C>T and MTHFR 677 C>T polymorphisms with breast and ovarian cancer risk in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers: Results from a multicenter study

Anna Jakubowska, +116 more
TL;DR: The PHB 1630TT genotype may modify breast and ovarian cancer risks in BRCA1 mutation carriers, and this association need to be evaluated in larger series of BRCC mutation carriers.

Breast Cancer Predisposition Syndromes

TL;DR: Advances in the field of breast cancer genetics have led to an improved understanding of detection and prevention strategies, and strategies to target the underlying genetic defects in BRCA1- and BRCa2-associated breast and ovarian cancers are emerging and may have implications for certain types of sporadic breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bilateral risk-reducing oophorectomy in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers.

TL;DR: Recent data demonstrate that HRT after BRRO in unaffected premenopausal women does not negate the breast cancer risk reduction that BRRO provides, and this article reviews the studies regardingBRRO in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers, with particular focus on the use of HRT.
