چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...
15 صفحه اولThe relative contribution of point mutations and genomic rearrangements in BRCA1 and BRCA2 in high-risk breast cancer families.
The demand for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation screening is increasing as their identification will affect medical management. However, both the contribution of different mutation types in BRCA1 and BRCA2 and whom should be offered testing for large genomic rearrangements have not been well established in the U.S. high-risk population. We define the prevalence and spectrum of point mutations and genom...
متن کاملLarge genomic BRCA2 rearrangements and male breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Germ-line mutations of the BRCA2 gene are the highest known risk factors for male breast cancer (MBC). Mutations in BRCA2 are mainly point mutations in contrast to BRCA1 in which large genomic rearrangements are quite common. In recent literature, however, genomic alterations of BRCA2 have been linked especially to male breast cancer families. We wanted to screen large genomic deleti...
متن کاملIdentification of novel BRCA large genomic rearrangements in Singapore Asian breast and ovarian patients with cancer.
Large genomic rearrangements have been reported to account for about 10-15% of BRCA1 gene mutations. Approximately, 90 BRCA rearrangements have been described to date, all of which but one have been reported in Caucasian populations of predominantly Western European descent. Knowledge of BRCA genomic rearrangements in Asian populations is still largely unknown. In this study, we have investigat...
متن کاملNo Evidence of BRCA1/2 genomic rearrangements in high-risk French-Canadian breast/ovarian cancer families.
The discovery of deleterious mutations in the breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, has facilitated the identification of individuals at particularly high risk of these diseases. There is a wide variation between populations in the prevalence and related risks of various types of BRCA1/2 mutations, so estimates cannot be extrapolated to Canadians, especially not found...
