Polymorphisms in DNA repair genes and associations with cancer risk.

TL;DR: It is concluded that large, well-designed studies of common polymorphisms in DNA repair genes are needed and such studies may benefit from analysis of multiple genes or polymorphisms and from the consideration of relevant exposures that may influence the likelihood of cancer in the presence of reduced DNA repair capacity.

Biallelic Inactivation of BRCA2 in Fanconi Anemia

TL;DR: It is shown that cell lines derived from FA-B and FA-D1 patients have biallelic mutations in BRCA2 and express truncated BRC a2 proteins, which may result in cancer risks similar to those observed in families withBRCA1 or BRCa2 mutations.

Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk

Kyriaki Michailidou, +220 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 9 genome-wide association studies, including 10,052 breast cancer cases and 12,575 controls of European ancestry, and identified 29,807 SNPs for further genotyping suggests that more than 1,000 additional loci are involved in breast cancer susceptibility.

Mutations in 12 genes for inherited ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal carcinoma identified by massively parallel sequencing

TL;DR: Using targeted capture and massively parallel genomic sequencing, this paper screened for germ-line mutations in 21 tumor suppressor genes in genomic DNA from women with primary ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube carcinoma.

Germline and Somatic Mutations in Homologous Recombination Genes Predict Platinum Response and Survival in Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, and Peritoneal Carcinomas

TL;DR: Germline or somatic mutations in homologous recombination genes are present in almost one third of ovarian carcinomas, including both serous and nonserous histologies, and the similar rate of homology recombination mutations in nonserous carcinomas supports their inclusion in PARP inhibitor clinical trials.

Identification of the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA2

TL;DR: The identification of a gene in which six different germline mutations in breast cancer families that are likely to be due to BRCA2 are detected, and results indicate that this is the BRC a2 gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

The complete BRCA2 gene and mutations in chromosome 13q-linked kindreds.

TL;DR: The complete coding sequence and exonic structure of BRCA2 is determined, and its pattern of expression is examined, and a mutational analysis of B RCA2 in families selected on the basis of linkage analysis and/or the presence of one or more cases of male breast cancer is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutrition and cancer: Background and rationale of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)

TL;DR: The rationale is presented for setting up large prospective cohort studies combining epidemiological and laboratory methods in order to expand the presently limited knowledge of the role of nutrition and related factors in cancer etiology.

BRCA1 is secreted and exhibits properties of a granin

TL;DR: It is shown that BRCA1 encodes a 190-kD protein with sequence homology and biochemical analogy to the granin protein family, which appears to function by a mechanism not previously described for tumour suppressor gene products.
