The counselees' self-reported request for psychological help in genetic counseling for hereditary breast/ovarian cancer: not only psychopathology matters.
BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that counselees do not experience psychopathological levels of distress after DNA test result disclosure. However, it has not systematically been studied whether the absence of psychopathology also means that counselees do not want to receive help. Their self-reported request for help may be related not only with psychopathology/distress but also with other...
متن کاملFunctional investigation of the BRCA1 Val1714Gly and Asp1733Gly variants by computational tools and yeast transcription activation assay
Mutations in the BRCA1 gene are known to be a major cause of hereditary breast cancer. However, characterizing the point mutationsassociated with cancer in BRCA1 is challenging because the functional impact of most of them is still unknown. Nowadays, a variety of methods are employed to identify cancer-associated mutations in BRCA1. This study is aimed to ass...
متن کاملشناسایی جهش های جدید در اگزون 11 ژنBRCA1 در بیماران مبتلا به سرطان پستان ارثی
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. BRCA1 is a tumor suppressor gene that is involved in DNA-damage repair. One of the significant risk factors of breast cancer is the family history. BRCA1 gene consists of 24 exons that encode a protein with 1863 amino acids. Exon 11 is the largest exons and most of the disease-linked mutations have been found in it. I...
متن کاملThe trajectory of psychological impact in BRCA1/2 genetic testing: does time heal?
BACKGROUND Most research on adjustment of women undergoing genetic testing for breast cancer susceptibility has not followed women for more than 6 months after result receipt and has not evaluated curvilinear patterns in general and cancer-specific adjustment. PURPOSE This study's primary goal was to examine the trajectory of psychological status in women at risk for breast and ovarian cancer...
متن کاملFunctional Investigation of the Novel BRCA1variant (Glu1661Gly) byComputationalTools andYeastTranscription Activation Assay
Introduction: Mutations in the BRCA1 gene are major risk factors for breast and ovarian cancers. However, the relationship between some BRCA1 mutations and cancer risk remains largely unknown. Cancer risk predictions could be improved by evaluation of the impairment degree in the BRCA1 functions due to a specific mutation. This study aimed to assess the functional effect of a novel variant (Glu...
