Journal ArticleDOI
BRCA1 testing in families with hereditary breast-ovarian cancer. A prospective study of patient decision making and outcomes.
Caryn Lerman,Steven A. Narod,Kevin A. Schulman,Chanita Hughes,Andres Gomez-Caminero,George E. Bonney,Karen Gold,Bruce J. Trock,David Main,Jane F. Lynch,Cecil Fulmore,Carrie Snyder,Stephen J. Lemon,Theresa Conway,Patricia N. Tonin,Gilbert M. Lenoir,Henry T. Lynch +16 more
TL;DR: Only a subset of HBOC family members are likely to request BRCA1 testing when available and rates of test use may be higher in persons of a higher socioeconomic status and those with more relatives affected with breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hereditary breast cancer : pathobiology, prognosis, and BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene linkage
Joseph N. Marcus,Patrice Watson,David L. Page,Steven A. Narod,Gilbert M. Lenoir,Patricia Tonin,Lisa Linder-Stephenson,Giovanni Salerno,Theresa Conway,Henry T. Lynch +9 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this investigation was to determine if there are pathobiologic differences between BRCA1‐related and BRCa2‐related hereditary breast cancer (HBC) and non‐HBC.
Journal ArticleDOI
A genomewide linkage scan for quantitative-trait loci for obesity phenotypes.
Hong-Wen Deng,Hong-Wen Deng,Hongyi Deng,Yong Jun Liu,Yao Zhong Liu,Fuhua Xu,Hui Shen,Theresa Conway,Jin Long Li,Qing Yang Huang,K. M. Davies,Robert R. Recker +11 more
TL;DR: The genomic regions identified in this and earlier reports are compared for further exploration in extension studies that use larger samples and/or denser markers for confirmation and fine-mapping studies, to eventually identify major functional genes involved in obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Whole-Genome Linkage Scan Suggests Several Genomic Regions Potentially Containing Quantitative Trait Loci for Osteoporosis
Hong-Wen Deng,Hong-Wen Deng,Fuhua Xu,Qing Yang Huang,Hui Shen,Hongyi Deng,Theresa Conway,Yong Jun Liu,Yao Zhong Liu,Jin Long Li,Hai Tao Zhang,K. M. Davies,Robert R. Recker +12 more
TL;DR: The genomic regions identified in this and some earlier reports are compared for exploration in extension studies with larger samples and/or denser markers for confirmation and fine mapping to eventually identify major functional genes involved in osteoporosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relevance of the genes for bone mass variation to susceptibility to osteoporotic fractures and its implications to gene search for complex human diseases
Hong-Wen Deng,Hong-Wen Deng,Michael C. Mahaney,Jeff T. Williams,Jing Li,Theresa Conway,K. Michael Davies,Jin Long Li,Hongyi Deng,Robert R. Recker +9 more
TL;DR: This study investigates the relevance of the genetic determination of bone mineral density (BMD) variation to that of differential risk to osteoporotic fractures (OF) and suggests that most genes found important for BMD may not be relevant to OF at the hip.
