ATM gene mutations in sporadic breast cancer patients from Brazil
PURPOSE The Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene encodes a multifunctional kinase, which is linked to important cellular functions. Women heterozygous for ATM mutations have an estimated relative risk of developing breast cancer of 3.8. However, the pattern of ATM mutations and their role in breast cancer etiology has been controversial and remains unclear. In the present study, we investig...
متن کاملSTK11 mutations in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and sporadic colon cancer.
A potential tumor suppressor gene, STK11 , encoding a serine threonine kinase, has recently been identified on chromosome 19p13. Germ-line mutations of this gene have been found in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). To further investigate the relevance of STK11 mutations in PJS, we analyzed its coding sequence in nine patients and identified two deletions and three missense mutations. ...
متن کاملThe Study of DNA Methyltransferase-3B Promoter Variant Genotype among Iranian Sporadic Breast Cancer Patients
Background: DNA methyltransferase-3B (DNMT3B) is an important enzyme responsible for maintaining the DNA methylation pattern in eukaryotic cells. In this study we have investigated the correlation between the 46359C→T polymorphism in the DNMT3B gene and the risk of breast cancer incidence among sporadic breast cancer patients in Fars Province, Southern Iran.Methods: In this case-control study, ...
متن کاملPrevalence of mutations in the BRCA1 gene among Chinese patients with breast cancer.
Inherited mutations in the tumor susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for about 70%–90% of familial breast cancer in most Caucasian populations while BRCA1 mutations alone contribute to about half of the cases (1– 3). Epidemiologic data from Caucasians show that BRCA1 mutations occur in the general population at a frequency between 0.05% and 0.2%. BRCA1 mutations account for about 5% of...
متن کاملa unique profile of adenomatous polyposis coli gene mutations in iranian patients suffering sporadic colorectal cancer
objective: colorectal cancer (crc) is one of the most common and aggressive cancers worldwide. the majority of crc cases are sporadic that caused by somatic mutations. the adenomatous polyposis coli (apc; omim 611731) is a tumor suppressor gene of wnt pathway and is frequently mutated in crc cases. this study was designed to investigate the spectrum of apc gene mutations in iranian patients wit...
