Genetic polymorphism of N142D GSTO2 and susceptibility to breast cancer: a meta-analysis
To establish a comprehensive picture of the relationship between glutathione S-transferase omega 2 (GSTO2; MIM: 612314) gene N142D variant (rs. 156697) and breast cancer risk, the present meta-analysis was carried out. Studies published up to July 2012 with information about GSTO2 polymorphism and breast cancer risk were identified using several electronic databases. We identified 4 eligible st...
متن کاملGenetic susceptibility to triple-negative breast cancer.
Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC), defined by the absence of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER-2 expression, account for 12% to 24% of all breast cancers. TNBC is associated with early recurrence of disease and poor outcome. Germline mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 breast cancer susceptibility genes have been associated with up to 15% of TNBC, and TNBC accounts for 70% of b...
متن کاملRecent advances in understanding of genetic susceptibility to breast cancer.
The breast cancer susceptibility gene, BRCA1, was isolated in 1994. Recent investigations into the genetic epidemiology of BRCA1 have revealed an unexpectedly high prevalence of mutations amongst Ashkenazi Jews. Analyses of BRCA1 function have indicated that it may act as an inhibitor of cell proliferation and is necessary for normal development in the mouse. The presence of a motif in BRCA1 ch...
متن کاملInherited Breast Cancer
During an eight-year period (January 1991– anuary 1999) a total of 11,200 women were xamined at the breast out-patient Department of he University Hospital. Of these, 7,750 were registered for the first time and 3,450 repeated their visit for different reasons. Of the 7,750 women, breast cancer was diagnosed in 261, who were treated appropriately. Out of the 261 breast cancer patients 9 (3.44%)...
متن کاملPolygenic inherited predisposition to breast cancer.
The known breast cancer predisposing genes account for only about 20% of inherited susceptibility. Epidemiological analyses suggest that much of the remaining 80% is explained by the combined effect of many individually weak genetic variants, rather than by further rare, highly penetrant mutations. In the near term, identification of variants may indicate new pathways or mechanisms in breast ca...
