Pathogenic Germline Variants in 10,389 Adult Cancers
We conducted the largest investigation of predisposition variants in cancer to date, discovering 853 pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in 8% of 10,389 cases from 33 cancer types. Twenty-one genes showed single or cross-cancer associations, including novel associations of SDHA in melanoma and PALB2 in stomach adenocarcinoma. The 659 predisposition variants and 18 additional large deletion...
متن کاملProduction of transmitochondrial cybrids containing naturally occurring pathogenic mtDNA variants
The human mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) encodes polypeptides that are critical for coupling oxidative phosphorylation. Our detailed understanding of the molecular processes that mediate mitochondrial gene expression and the structure-function relationships of the OXPHOS components could be greatly improved if we were able to transfect mitochondria and manipulate mtDNA in vivo. Increasing our kno...
متن کاملAssociation of mtDNA mutation with Autism in Iranian patients
The autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are amongst the most heritable complex disorders. Although there have been many efforts to locate the genes associated with ASD risk, many has been remained to be disclosed about the genetics of ASD. Scrutiny's have only disclosed a small number of de novo and inherited variants significantly associated with susceptibility to ASD. These only comprise a small ...
متن کاملInformation for genetic management of mtDNA disease: sampling pathogenic mtDNA mutants in the human germline and in placenta.
BACKGROUND Families with a child who died of severe, maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disease need information on recurrence risk. Estimating this risk is difficult because of (a) heteroplasmy-the coexistence of mutant and normal mtDNA in the same person-and (b) the so-called mitochondrial bottleneck, whereby the small number of mtDNAs that become the founders for the offspring ca...
متن کاملGermline sequence variants and prostate-specific antigen interpretation.
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the primary biomarker used to screen for prostate cancer. PSA has limited specificity as a marker, however, and it can be increased in multiple noncancerous conditions [e.g., prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)] and after prostatic manipulation (e.g., catheterization) (1, 2 ). There is now emerging evidence that PSA concentrations may also be affec...
