Evidence for involvement of BRCA1 in sporadic breast carcinomas.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The hereditary breast cancer gene BRCA1 previously has been localized to chromosome 17q21. We looked for evidence of involvement of this region of chromosome 17 in 130 sporadic breast cancers. Seventeen polymorphic sequence tagged site markers were examined in these tumors between the D17S250 and D17S579 loci to screen for deletions as measured by loss of heterozygosity. The smallest common region that was deleted occurred in the approximately 120-kilobase interval between the D17S846 and D17S746 loci within the BRCA1 region. Delineation of this commonly deleted area should accelerate attempts to identify the involved gene(s) and its relationship to BRCA1.

BRCA1 is a tumor suppressor gene that is responsible for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. To clarify the possible involvement of the BRCA1 protein in mammary carcinogenesis in sporadic and hereditary forms, we have analyzed the BRCA1 protein expression pattern in five breast epithelial cell lines, including a BRCA1-deficient cell line, and 162 breast cancer tissue samples [includi...

BACKGROUND Although germline mutations in BRCA1 play a central role in familial breast and ovarian cancers, to date, no somatic mutations in BRCA1 have been reported in sporadic breast cancer, and only five somatic mutations have been identified in the sporadic ovarian carcinomas. Because loss of heterozygosity appears frequently at the BRCA1 locus in nonfamilial breast and ovarian carcinomas, ...
متن کاملMethylation of the BRCA1 gene in sporadic breast cancer.
Mutations of the BRCA1 gene in tumor DNA from patients with sporadic breast cancer have not yet been observed. Nevertheless, BRCA1 activity is markedly decreased in invasive breast tumors. Previous reports have shown that hypermethylation of the promoter region is an alternative mechanism to mutation for the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. We examined the BRCA1 promoter region for hyper...

Introduction : Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second cause of cancer death among women. Despite recent developments in therapeutic tools about 25% of all the involved cases die annually. The clinical, molecular, and pathologic features of breast cancer in BRCA1 mutation carriers suggest that BRCA1 may function as a stem-cell regulator. The purpose of the current study was to ...
