Novel nonsense mutation of BRCA2 gene in a Moroccan man with familial breast cancer.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. About 5 to 10% of cases are due to an inherited predisposition in two major genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, transmitted as an autosomal dominant form. Male breast cancer is rare and is mainly due to BRCA2 than BRCA1 germline mutations. OBJECTIVE Molecular study of BRCA2 gene in man with familial breast cancer. METHODS PCR and direct sequencing of BRCA2 gene. RESULTS Identification of novel heterozygous germline mutation c.6428C>A ; p.Ser2143Stop of BRCA2 gene.

Association of Pathogenic Missense and Nonsense Mutations in Mitochondrial COII Gene with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)
Nuclear genetic mutations have been extensively investigated in solid tumors. However, the role of the mitochondrial genome remains uncertain. Since the metabolism of solid tumors is associated with aerobic glycolysis and high lactate production, tumors may have mitochondrial dysfunctions. Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a rare form of colorectal cancer and an autosomal dominant inheri...
متن کاملMinor role of BRCA2 mutation (Exon2 and Exon11) in patients with early-onset breast cancer amongst Iranian Azeri-Turkish women
Objective(s): Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Every year, one million new cases are reported worldwide, representing 18% of the total number of cancer in women. Hereditary BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations account for about 60% of inherited breast cancer and are the only known causes of hereditary breast cancer syndrome. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of BRCA2 (e...
متن کاملDetection of P 53 gene mutations in exons 5 and 8 in patients of familial breast cancer with PCR-SSCP methode.
Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer of women in the world. Although different genetic alteration has been reported in this malignancy, but P 53 gene mutations has more frequency. P 53 gene is one of the most important suppressor genes and it play a central role in breast cancer and detecting of mutations in this gene would be very helpful in understanding of genetic m...
متن کاملPrevention and Epidemiology Contribution of InheritedMutations in the BRCA2-Interacting Protein PALB2 to Familial Breast Cancer
Inherited mutations in the BRCA2-interacting protein PALB2 are known to be associated with increased risks of developing breast cancer. To evaluate the contribution of PALB2 to familial breast cancer in the United States, we sequenced the coding sequences and flanking regulatory regions of the gene from constitutional genomic DNA of 1,144 familial breast cancer patients with wild-type sequences...
متن کاملAllelic imbalance in BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene expression is associated with an increased breast cancer risk.
The contribution of BRCA1 and BRCA2 to familial and non-familial forms of breast cancer has been difficult to accurately estimate because of the myriad of potential genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that can ultimately influence their expression and involvement in cellular activities. As one of these potential mechanisms, we investigated whether allelic imbalance (AI) of BRCA1 or BRCA2 expressi...
