Immunohistochemical characteristics defined by tissue microarray of hereditary breast cancer not attributable to BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations: differences from breast carcinomas arising in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers.
PURPOSE Most familial breast cancers are not associated with BRCA1 or BRCA2 germ-line mutations. Therefore, it is of major importance to define the morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of this group of tumors to improve genetic testing and also gain further insight into the biological characteristics of tumors. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We evaluated the morphological character...
متن کاملThe importance of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes mutations in breast cancer development
Many factors including genetic, environmental, and acquired are involved in breast cancer development across various societies. Among all of these factors in families with a history of breast cancer throughout several generations, genetics, like predisposing genes to develop this disease, should be considered more. Early detection of mutation carriers in these genes, in turn, can play an import...
متن کاملGenetic Testing for Hereditary Breast and/or Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (BRCA1 or BRCA2)
Patient Selection Criteria Coverage eligibility for genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in cancer-affected individuals will be considered when ANY of the following criteria are met: Individual from a family with a known BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation Personal history of breast cancer and ≥1 of the following: o Diagnosed age ≤45 years o 2 primary breast cancers when 1st breast cancer diagnos...
متن کاملTP53 mutations in breast cancer associated with BRCA1 or BRCA2 germ-line mutations: distinctive spectrum and structural distribution.
Several groups have studied the molecular pathology of inherited breast cancer. By combining several such studies, we show in this study that somatic TP53 abnormalities are more common in breast cancer associated with BRCA1 or BRCA2 germ-line mutations than in sporadic breast cancers (odds ratio, 2.8; P = 0.0003). Then, we compared the spectrum of TP53 mutations for breast cancers in the IARC T...
متن کاملEffect of mammography on breast cancer risk in women with mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2.
Women who carry mutations in either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes are at risk for early-onset breast cancer and are recommended to begin screening mammography at age 25 to 30 years. Results of in vitro and animal studies suggest that BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers are hypersensitive to ionizing radiation and possibly to radiation-induced breast cancer. This study was undertaken to investigate the ass...
